How to search for a diploma and doctoral theses?

• Paper versions – UKSW Library Catalogue

Doctoral and diploma theses defended at UKSW and ATK from collections of the Library can be browsed through the online catalogue. It is possible to send a request for diploma theses through the personal library account. Searching for dissertations using PRIMO Library Discovery Service is done similarly to searching for other library materials. Just type in author’s surname, title or part of the title of dissertation into the search field. Search term should be typed in without “typos”, because search results may depend on it.

There are visible list of suggested terms, similar to the one during typing search terms into the search field.

Once the dissertation has been found, the request can be send, after choosing the place of pickup location among the available options.

On the basis of the catalogue record fill in the paper library slip and submit it in the Theological and Canonical Reading Room.

• Electronic Versions – Archive of Diploma Theses (Archiwum Prac Dyplomowych – APD).

Bachelor’s and master’s theses created since 2010 are archived on the UKSW server in electronic form and administered by the IT Systems Center. ADT (APD) allows you to search for works by author, job title, promoter, seminar and keywords. The works are available on computers in the Theological and Canonical Reading Room (r. 305). Access to them requires the submission of an application to the Director of the UKSW Library with the signature of the promoter or confirmation of the application by the institution directing the person for scientific research.

Not all the works in the ADT can be shared. This happens when the author does not agree to this. To make sure your work is available in digital form, please write to czytelnia.teologiczno.kanoniczna@uksw.edu.pl.

The library does not permit the copying of any part of a master’s, doctoral, bachelor’s thesis on any medium (§4, par. 11 of Rules and Regulations of Sharing Collections of the UKSW Library ).
