University Libraries recently acquired the
Dissertations & Theses by ProQuest database, which offers access to over 2.7 million citations and more than 1.2 million full text dissertations and theses. Documents in this database go back as far as 1861, and offers many valuable searching tools such as a controlled subject listing and hyper-linking of authors and institutions.
A quick search in the "Nutrition" subject area yielded 12,373 dissertations and theses. Aside from being great sources for literature reviews and bibliographies, the dissertations and theses in this database offer wonderful examples of work that has already been done in this particular field, if you're just starting your research for a dissertation or thesis.
Of course, to see samples of dissertations and these written right here at Virginia Tech, don't forget about our Electronic Thesis & Dissertation Library, which holds 18,362 documents from the various departments at the Unviersity. If you come across a dissertation or thesis from another school that is not available through the new Dissertations & Theses database, simply request it through
Interlibrary Loan.
As always, just let me know if you have any questions!
