Master's theses and doctoral dissertations are an important source in determining previous research in your topic area. Both theses and dissertations are also useful for providing examples of the structure of the document and for examples of literature reviews.
The University of Nebraska-Lincoln Libraries' provide access to the Dissertations Abstract online index. The index is searchable by subject, author, etc. and provides full text access to many documents plus access to the abstracts of many more documents. Most University of Nebraska theses and dissertations are available in full text.
For those theses/dissertations, for which full text is not available, the Libraries interlibrary loan service may provide access.
