Q. How do I search the catalog to find U of M dissertations or theses by department?

To search for dissertations and theses by a department or program:

1. Go to the University Libraries' home page and click on Classic Catalog:
   
2. Once in the Classic Catalog, click the link to Advanced Search:
   
3. In the Advanced Search screen, there are two things to do to find theses or dissertations from a program.
   • The graduate major and concentration will be listed in the Notes for the thesis/dissertation record. To search that, change the dropdown field before the first search bar to "Note:" then enter the program into the search bar.
   • To limit to theses and dissertations, scroll down to the heading "Add Limits (option)" and change the "Material Type" dropdown menu to "Thesis/Dissertation."
     
4. All of your results should not be theses and dissertations, and if you look at the Notes section of each record you should see your search terms.
