Requesting to view dissertation on site

To view dissertations, requests can be made through the Libraries catalog.

In order to request an item, you will need a visitor's card. Once you receive your card, you can log in to request your item.

When the request is received, staff pull the item from the storage Repository and deliver it to be viewed in the Archives and Special Collections Research Center on the 4th floor of the Humanities and Social Sciences Library (HSSE). This is located in Stewart Center, 504 Mitch Daniels Blvd, West Lafayette, IN 47907.
