Foreign Doctoral Dissertations
From the Center for Research Libraries in Chicago. So far, 70,000 out of 750,000 are cataloged. The Center receives on deposit theses from a number of foreign universities and will also order on request titles that are not already held. The Center's Database provides access to records for some titles, but since many are still uncataloged, not finding a title does not indicate that it is not held at CRL.
