The UWA Library has recently upgraded its subscription to ProQuest Dissertations and Theses Database to allow access to documents in full text.

The ProQuest Dissertations and Theses Database (PQDT) is a comprehensive collection of dissertations and theses, from all fields of study, from around the world. The full text version includes 2.4 million dissertation and theses citations from 1861 to present day with 1 million full text dissertations that are available to download in PDF format. Full text dissertations include most from 1997 with a strong retrospective collection for older works. Each year more than 60,000 new full text dissertations and theses are added to the database.

You can access this exciting resource from the Library website. Simply search for the title ProQuest Dissertations and Theses in the Library catalogue and link through to the online resource.

About robyn.owens

I started my academic life doing a BSc (Hons) in Mathematics at UWA before going to Oxford to complete an MSc and a DPhil, also in Mathematics. I then spent three years in Paris at l'Université de Paris-Sud, Orsay, continuing research in mathematical analysis and going to lots of movies before returning to UWA to work as a research mathematician. I have lectured in Maths and Computer Science at UWA, as well as for short periods at Berkeley, The University of Canterbury in Christchurch, and Prince Songkla University in Thailand. My research has focussed on computer vision, including feature detection in images, 3D shape measurement, image understanding, and representation.
