Some thesis abstracts are emerging online already. Full text theses presentation also have promise with the US Department of Education funding a National Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations and Virginia Tech starting to request electronic submission of all theses. Eventually, large digital theses archives will be the norm but until then, very little will happen in this field. It is not easy to get your hands on theses - and some will simply not be available for you to view. There are several avenues.
Theses are likely to only be available microfilm, to be viewed in the library.
