EBSCO Open Dissertations
EBSCO Open Dissertations makes electronic theses and dissertations (ETDs) more accessible to researchers worldwide. The free portal is designed to benefit universities and their students and make ETDs more discoverable.
Increasing Discovery & Usage of ETD Research
EBSCO Open Dissertations is a collaboration between EBSCO and BiblioLabs to increase traffic and discoverability of ETD research. You can join the movement and add your theses and dissertations to the database, making them freely available to researchers everywhere while increasing traffic to your institutional repository.
EBSCO Open Dissertations extends the work started in 2014, when EBSCO and the H.W. Wilson Foundation created American Doctoral Dissertations which contained indexing from the H.W. Wilson print publication, Doctoral Dissertations Accepted by American Universities, 1933-1955. In 2015, the H.W. Wilson Foundation agreed to support the expansion of the scope of the American Doctoral Dissertations database to include records for dissertations and theses from 1955 to the present.
How Does EBSCO Open Dissertations Work?
Your ETD metadata is harvested via OAI and integrated into EBSCO’s platform, where pointers send traffic to your IR.
EBSCO integrates this data into their current subscriber environments and makes the data available on the open web via opendissertations.org .

Open Access Theses & Dissertations
1. Does UC require me to make my thesis/dissertation open access? 2. Can I delay open access to my thesis? 3. I’m working on my thesis/dissertation and I have copyright questions. Where can I find answers? 4. Where can I find UC Theses and Dissertations online?
1. Does UC require me to make my thesis/dissertation open access?
Several UC campuses have established policies requiring open access to the electronic theses and dissertations (ETDs) written by their graduate students. As of March 25, 2020, there is now a systemwide Policy on Open Access for Theses and Dissertations , indicating that UC “requires theses or dissertations prepared at the University to be (1) deposited into an open access repository, and (2) freely and openly available to the public, subject to a requested delay of access (’embargo’) obtained by the student.”
In accordance with these policies, campuses must ensure that student ETDs are available open access via eScholarship (UC’s open access repository and publishing platform), at no cost to students. By contrast, ProQuest, the world’s largest commercial publisher of ETDs, charges a $95 fee to make an ETD open access. Institutions worldwide have moved toward open access ETD publication because it dramatically increases the visibility and reach of their graduate research.
Policies and procedures for ETD filing, including how to delay public release of an ETD and how long such a delay can last, vary by campus. Learn more :
- UC Berkeley: Dissertation Filing Guidelines (for Doctoral Students) and Thesis Filing Guidelines (for Master’s Students)
- UC Davis: Preparing and Filing Your Thesis or Dissertation
- UC Irvine: Thesis/Dissertation Electronic Submission
- UCLA: File Your Thesis or Dissertation
- UC Merced: Dissertation/Thesis Submission
- UC Riverside: Dissertation and Thesis Submission
- UC San Diego: Preparing to Graduate
- UCSF: Dissertation and Thesis Guidelines
- UC Santa Barbara: Filing Your Thesis, Dissertation, or DMA Supporting Document
- UC Santa Cruz: Dissertation and Thesis Guidelines (PDF) from the Graduate Division’s Accessing Forms Online page
2. Can I delay open access to my thesis/dissertation?
Some campuses allow students to elect an embargo period before the public release of their thesis/dissertation; others require approval from graduate advisors or administrators. Visit your local graduate division’s website (linked above) for more information.
In 2013, the American Historical Association released a statement calling for graduate programs to adopt policies for up to a six year embargo for history dissertations. Many scholars found this extreme, and a variety of commentators weighed in (see, e.g., discussions in The Atlantic , The Chronicle of Higher Education , and Inside Higher Ed ). In addition, a memo from Rosemary Joyce, the Associate Dean of the Graduate Division of UC Berkeley, listed several advantages of releasing a dissertation immediately and added that “the potential disadvantages… remain anecdotal.” In the years since the flurry of writing responding to the AHA statement, the discussion of dissertation embargoes has continued, but the issues have remained largely the same. Thus, this memo from the UC Berkeley graduate dean (2013) remains an excellent summary.
3. I’m working on my thesis/dissertation and I have copyright questions. Where can I find answers?
Students writing theses/dissertations most commonly have questions about their own copyright ownership or the use of other people’s copyrighted materials in their own work.
You automatically own the copyright in your thesis/dissertation as soon as you create it , regardless of whether you register it or include a copyright page or copyright notice. Most students choose not to register their copyrights, though some choose to do so because they value having their copyright ownership officially and publicly recorded. Getting a copyright registered is required before you can sue someone for infringement.
If you decide to register your copyright, you can do so
- directly, through the Copyright Office website , for $35
- by having ProQuest/UMI contact the Copyright Office on your behalf, for $65.
It is common to incorporate 1) writing you have done for journal articles as part of your dissertation, and 2) parts of your dissertation into articles or books . See, for example, these articles from Wiley and Taylor & Francis giving authors tips on how to successfully turn dissertations into articles, or these pages at Sage , Springer , and Elsevier listing reuse in a thesis or dissertation as a common right of authors. Because this is a well-known practice, and often explicitly allowed in publishers’ contracts with authors, it rarely raises copyright concerns. eScholarship , which hosts over 55,000 UC ETDs, has never received a takedown notice from a publisher based on a complaint that the author’s ETD was too similar to the author’s published work.
Incorporating the works of others in your thesis/dissertation – such as quotations or illustrative images – is often allowed by copyright law. This is the case when the original work isn’t protected by copyright, or if the way you’re using the work would be considered fair use. In some circumstances, however, you will need permission from the copyright holder. For more information, please consult the Berkeley Library’s guide to Copyright and Publishing Your Dissertation .
For more in depth information about copyright generally, visit the UC Copyright site.
4. Where can I find UC Dissertations and Theses online?
All ten UC campuses make their electronic theses and dissertations (ETDs) openly accessible to readers around the world. You can view over 55,000 UC ETDs in eScholarship , UC’s open access repository. View ETDs from each campus:

Open Access (Free) Database
Of particular use to alumni and the general public: The following three open access dissertation and theses databases are available. Some titles in these databases are citation only, while others provide free access with links to the full text of the dissertation or thesis cited.
- EBSCO's Open Dissertations Database Coverage varies by the source database. Provides open access to over 800,000 dissertations from 26 U.S. universities plus the UK. Created from a collaboration between EBSCO and BiblioLabs, it uses the standard EBSCO search interface. Consists primarily of three resources--mostly full text titles from OhioLink's open ETD database (mainly 1999 to date); EThOS: e-theses online service of UK dissertations from the British Library (1800 to date); and citations digitized from UMI's Doctoral Dissertations Accepted by American Universities, 1933-1955. (EBSCO is working on extending this coverage from 1955 to date.)
- PQDT Open A subset of ProQuest Dissertations and Theses Global. Coverage: mainly 2006 to date. Some earlier titles back to 1990. PQDT Open provides the full text of open access dissertations and theses free of charge. The text, if available, is in PDF format.
- EThOS: E-Theses Online Service (British Library) Coverage: 1800 to date. Also searchable as part of EBSCO's Open Dissertations database . More than 480,000 titles included with links to the full text for over 100,000 dissertations. About EThOS .
Summon and Discipline-Specific Databases Covering Dissertations
Many periodical databases in academic disciplines index dissertations in addition to articles and books: MLA Bibliography , PsycINFO , and EconLit are three well-known examples. In general, one would not expect to find dissertations not already cited in ProQuest Dissertations and Theses Global in these databases. However, it can be a way to locate dissertations written in a particular discipline rather than searching using specific subject terms in PQD&TG.

Dissertation or Thesis - what is the difference?
A dissertation is a book-length work prepared by a graduate student as a requirement for a doctoral degree (usually a Ph.D.)
A thesis is an in-depth essay prepared by a student as part of the requirements for a master's degree (usually M.A.) or for an undergraduate degree. Students are often not required to make their dissertations or theses openly available to the public. Some choose to not have their works added to databases, or be printed, then added to a library. Those that are printed, bound, and added to a library are frequently added to non-circulating collections. This makes it sometimes challenging to obtain print copies through Interlibrary Loan. Cline's Document Delivery service will attempt to obtain print copies of dissertations from any library that owns a copy; just be aware it will take time and the request might be canceled.
International dissertations are often more challenging to obtain in print through Interlibrary Loan. Many libraries have their dissertations in a non-circulating collection, others are reluctant to mail internationally. Cline Library's Document Delivery service can attempt to order international titles, just be aware that the success rate is low. Whenever possible, try to locate a digitally-born copy through an online source like those within this guide.
This guide is designed to help users locate digitally-born dissertations.
NAU Dissertations and Theses
Tips for Finding Dissertations from the United States
Start out by searching for dissertations using the proquest dissertations & theses database . .
Within the database be aware of full text options. For newer materials (after 2007), digital might be the only option for obtaining a free copy. Dissertations produced after 2007 frequently are only available in electronic format, with very few printed or added to libraries.
Be aware of the university where it was produced. Many universities have digital repositories where dissertations are placed. It is worth Googling the "school name AND digital repository". Once on the repository page, search by the dissertation title or author.
Dissertations from many U.S. and Canadian universities can be purchased online through ProQuest UMI Dissertation Express . NAU does not purchase dissertations.
Open Access Sources

U.S. University Digital Repositories
Digitally Born Dissertations (typically 2007 to present): Many universities have digital repositories where authors can add their dissertations, articles, or chapters. These repositories often allow free downloads. Before submitting an Interlibrary Loan request for dissertations after 2007, it is often a good idea to Google the title to see if a full text option is available or attempt to locate the university's digital repository.
A sample of digital repositories that provide public access to theses and dissertations:
Arizona State University Digital Repository
ASU has created a LibGuide to assist in locating ASU dissertations. It can be found here.

The high attrition rates of teachers early in their career is a well-documented problem that school districts around the United States have been grappling with for decades with limited success (Carver-Thomas & Darling-Hammond, 2019; Ingersoll, 2003). The COVID-19 pandemic increased the attrition of experienced teachers, with 55% of teachers reporting they are more likely to leave the profession before reaching retirement age than they were before the pandemic (Jotkoff, 2022). Mentorship programs that place new teachers with experienced teachers are one solution that school districts in Oregon have implemented to increase early career retention. Current models of teacher mentorship have had limited success in reducing new teacher attrition and increased attrition by experienced educators is leading to a loss of institutional wisdom.
The purpose of this study was to investigate alternative models of teacher mentorship that have developed organically in schools in the past and focusing on how these relationships impacted the mentor. Through a qualitative single case study approach, reflections of former teacher-mentors were analyzed using Gee's four-part framework of teacher identity (2000) and Lammert, DeWalt and Wetzel's Theory of Becoming (2020).
I found that teacher-mentors were motivated to support new teachers by their natural identities as helpers and learners and their experiences early in their career as new teachers. Being part of a mentorship dyad reinvigorates the mentor's learner identity and increases the mentor's connection to both their institution and the teaching profession. While supporting the identity formation of their mentee, the teacher-mentor experiences an identity transformation that increases their connection to their school community and the profession. Concrete steps will be shared to facilitate an increase in the formation of informal mentoring relationships.
