Dissertations are generally available through interlibrary loan.
If it is determined that a desired U.S. dissertation is not available through interlibrary loan, faculty and graduate students will be given the option of having the library purchase the dissertation for its own collection. You may also wish to purchase a copy of a dissertation for your own use through UMI's Dissertation Express program. Loyola University faculty, staff, and students may purchase high quality shrink-wrapped photocopies of dissertations from UMI via the Interlibrary Loan staff at Cudahy Library.
