Theses & Dissertations by GT Authors

  • Online:

    All Georgia Tech theses and dissertations beginning with Fall 2003 are available electronically through SMARTech and through the GT Catalog (GIL). The ETD collection also contains Dissertations prior to 1998 from the former Institute of Paper Science and Technology.  The Library is digitizing theses and dissertations prior to 2003.  These are available to the Georgia Tech community through SMARTech unless permission to make them available has been received from the author (to grant permission to release your work worldwide email the ETD Team).

    GT dissertations can be searched via ProQuest's Dissertations & Theses @ Georgia Institute of Technology database. Electronic full-text of these dissertations is available from 1997 to the present as well as for some 1950-1997 dissertations.
