Searching for Dissertations/Theses

Book Series Titles

The OSU Library has some educational book series that offer original research and commentary. Any of the print titles below which are not checked out and have a call number beginning with 378 will be found on the 4th floor of Edmon Low. E-books are capable of being read online and, in most cases, will allow 60 pages or a chapter within the book to be printed, whichever is less.

Searching for Books

The best place to start to search for books the Library owns is the catalog. Searching by keywords allows you to browse and search for titles that are currently available to check-out, read online or print.

Once you locate a print book use the the call number guide to determine what floor the books are shelved on. E-books are capable of being read online and, in most cases, will allow 60 pages or a chapter within the book to be printed, whichever is less.

WorldCat

WorldCat is a union catalog that itemizes the collections of tens of thousands of institutions, in many countries. You can search WorldCat to find book titles the OSU Library does not own through keyword or subject search. Any item found in WorldCat can be ordered through InterLibrary Services for no fee and normally circulates for 30 days.
