Hey Gus. Welcome! I just have one little problem: Have you noticed, in your reading of all the forums here that pretty much no one puts big, slow-loading graphics in their signatures and/or the body of their posts? The way things are now, all pages in the forum load kinda' nice and quick... mostly 'cause there's not alot of graphics. I have no idea what the TOS says about it... I'm not talking about that. I'm just talking about being a considerate member and not cluttering-up the pages with slow-loading graphics.

Just a suggestion. You're free to do whatever you want... but I'm just sayin'

 

There is a database called Dissertation Abstracts International, which was one of two divisions of University Microfilms International (the other division thereof being Books on Demand), which got bought out by Bell & Howell, and so they are now known as Bell & Howell Learning & Information. DAI was long known as a paper and print guide, but they have subsequently been put on line (after the Bell & Howell buyout).

Hi,

The following site contains the theses of the University of Pretoria (South Africa)

Best wishes

 

UMI limits the public to searches involving dissertations submitted over the last 2 years. Mine, for example, is no longer available that way. (No, Jamesville, it isn't another consipiracy to "hide" the work you seem so free to incompletely cite. )

If you go to a university library, though, you can usually access the entire database. Or, if you're a student or faculty member of a school, you can often connect over the web. But you usually lose this after graduating. (The school pays a fee scaled to the number of potential users.)

Hope this helps.

 

It really depends on what you are looking for. Membership to the Social Science Research Network is free http://www.ssrn.com/

 

Charles Percy our US Senator was President of Bell & Howell Corporation from 1949 to 1964.

I guess they don't make projectors any more?

Intersting....

Thank you.

Yeah... when I saw the IMG link info, I got suspicious. Now the thread-starter is acting weird. There's alot of reference to this guy on AED. Obviously the thread-starter came here to screw around.

Perhaps I was premature in my welcome. I recommend the mods keep and eye on this guy.
