Dissertations from most colleges and universities in North America can be located using Proquest Dissertations and Theses Global.
The MSU Libraries do not normally purchase copies of dissertations from other institutions but many institutions are willing to loan copies of their dissertations. Copies of dissertations from other institutions can usually be obtained through InterLibrary Loan. Information about this service is available at the Get It @MSU section of the Main Library's home page.
