As usual there are some additions in databases and other resources as we begin the new academic year. Graduate students and faculty will find the ProQuest Dissertations & Theses - Section A: Humanities & Social Sciences helpful in their research, but upper level undergraduates  may also find it useful, particularly those working on Honors Papers.  It contains indexes and abstracts to master's theses and doctoral dissertations from around the country.  Anyone in the ETBU graduate programs who produces a thesis as part of their degree requirements can have their thesis added.  Anything found in PQDTA that was produced by student's in our master's programs is accessible in full text.  Dissertations and abstracts from outside our campus may be purchased for a fee.  The library will underwrite those fees (up to a certain point) for graduate students and faculty.

If you are a student working on an Honors Project don't forget to come by the library and get set up for research assistance with one of the three librarians.

We'll be there from the beginning until the day you turn in the Project - as long as you need assistance. Honors students can also request a change in their patron status and we also suggest a TexShare card, which will allow you to check out materials from other Texas libraries (academic and public) that also participate in the TexShare card program. For more information contact Ms. Cynthia Peterson at 2257 or at cpeterson@etbu.edu .
