Getting Started
Each UTSA student who completes a thesis or dissertation submits two unbound copies to the Graduate School. These two copies are sent to the library. One copy is added to the circulating collection and another is sent to the UTSA Archives.
If you are seeking a thesis or dissertation produced at UTSA, searching in UCAT will tell you exactly where you can find it. All UTSA theses and dissertations are shelved in approximately the same location with similar call numbers, so remember to write down the exact call number before heading for the stacks.
The UTSA Library occasionally purchases theses and dissertations from other institutions that are of interest to our patrons. These items are cataloged and classified by subject, and are therefore intermingled in the stacks. Searching UCAT will retrieve these items as well.
Some theses and dissertations are available on microfilm.
