I have asked this before and gotten answers, but have had no success with the abswers, I enjoyed the ease of use provided by contentville.com regarding my dissertation searches. Is there anything out there that is as easy to use and comprehensive?
This is sometimes a tough nut to crack. University libraries will let you access Dissertation Abstracts, but only from their on-site computers. They won't let you access it through their websites. It has to do with their licensing of the database and their scope of use. If they released it to the general public, they'd have to pay for a much larger site license. Doesn't Touro give you access to it through their website? I believe Union gives it to use through theirs. My wife gets it through her account at George Mason University. Public libraries tend not to make this available via the Web, either. They either have it on site, or you have to ask one of their staff to conduct your search for you. Not good. Bug Touro; they should provide it. Or go to a local university library.
