If a dissertation is in the UA Libraries collection but is not online in the IR, you search may request a scanned electronic copy through your local library's interlibrary loan, the UA Libraries catalog, or by emailing the Libraries Archival Facility at librariesannex@ua.edu.
Any scanned dissertations and theses are then made available in the IR with the author's permission; if you are the author, please provide this permission when you email the Libraries Archival Facility with your request.
Recently published dissertations may not be available due to embargo.
