Free Online Searchable Database: www.OpenThesis.org

www.openthesis.org
OpenThesis.org is a searchable database of theses and dissertations. These include masters and doctoral PHD theses covering all subject areas from the humanities, social sciences and sciences.. It is independent of any individual institution, although a number of (mainly US colleges) do have their own listings pages. As it relies upon registration, the database is not comprehensive. However it can quickly reveal results with a single search and it also includes some masters materials not offered in other indexes. Most entries give bibliographical details and abstracts. Some are full text. Copyright information is displayed on the website.



OpenThesis.org is a bibliographic database. Here’s an entry for a Master’s Thesis from the University of North Carolina (http://www.openthesis.org/documents/Impact-Drought-Electricity-Supply-in-501852.html). Unfortunately, many entries don’t have as complete of an entry as this one.


Access to the database is free. Source: OpenThesis.org (via Intute)
