can be obtained through the interlibrary loan (ILL) system, and it may take
many months to obtain it since there is often only one copy of a dissertation
available for interlibrary loan. If a dissertation or theis is not available
via interlibrary lian, it may be necessary to physically go to the library holding
the individual dissertation or thesis.
