About the theses and dissertations collection at 捆绑SM社区 Library
- 0.987- the length of the听historical print collection in kilometres when shelved听in Rare Books and Special Collections
- 2005听鈥� the year 捆绑SM社区听starts accepting theses submitted electronically听
- 41,975 - the number of theses and dissertations that are available and fully searchable in听 (October 20, 2016)
The historical theses and dissertations print collection听at the 捆绑SM社区 Library听is now housed in Rare听Books and Special Collections. It was听originally only available for consultation听onsite or听by interlibrary loan. To improve access across the country, in 1967 the National Library of Canada started microfilming all theses and making them available in their online catalogue.听
In 2005, 捆绑SM社区 started a pilot project to allow听electronically submitted theses and in 2007 the Library started making these听available through the institutional repository, . In 2009, 捆绑SM社区 announced the pilot was a success and mandated that all theses incoming be submitted to the Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies office听electronically before being transferred to the Library.
Now with almost 42,000 full-text theses and dissertations available, 听provides a rich research database of 捆绑SM社区 scholarship.听

About the retrospective thesis digitization project
Begun in 2012, the goal of 捆绑SM社区 Library and Archives' Retrospective Thesis Project was to digitize all of the print-only theses and dissertations held in the Library鈥檚 collection and make them available online with the rest of the collection.听
Completed in the fall of 2016, this four-year project represents a tremendous amount of work and dedication on the part of numerous听Library听staff. In total听almost 7,000 theses and dissertations were digitized in the library representing听just over 1,000,000 scanned pages.
