Reference sources for doctoral and master's dissertations and theses in

doctoral theses but will also help in raising the standard and quality of
research.

is
expected to be the most comprehensive listing of sources of information on
LIS dissertations and theses. It will enable LIS researchers with wider
dissemination of information leading to improved referral and citation. It
will not only bring more visibility and greater recognition to the
researchers and their work but also help improve their rankings. It will be
of immense help to the researchers in the task of literature search and
review of related areas. Besides the literature reviews, the availability
of comprehensive sources of LIS dissertations and thesis will give
information on research studies already undertaken which will also help
future researchers in identifying and formulating the topic of their
research. It will eliminate the possibilities for researchers ending up
pursuing a topic of research that has already been undertaken at the same
or other universities. ... ... ...
