Dissertation Abstracts Online is a perfect subject, title, and author guide to practically every dissertation abstract accepted at an recognized institution. Selected Masters theses have been included since 1962. In addition, since 1988, the database includes documents for dissertations from 50 British universities that have been collected by and filmed at The British Document Supply Centre. Beginning with DAIC Volume 49, Number 2 (Spring 1988), citations and abstracts from Section C, Worldwide Dissertations (formerly European Dissertations), have been included in the file.
Abstracts are included for doctoral records from July 1980 (Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume 41, and Number 1) to the present. Abstracts are included for masters theses from spring 1988 (Masters Abstracts, Volume 26, Number 1) to the present.
