You can request a dissertation from another school by making an Interlibrary Loan Request (linked below).
Please Note:
- Dissertations are not widely available and when they are available they usually involve fees for the patron who is requesting.
- The library offers Dissertation Express to all Samford faculty, staff, and students. This service allows you to buy dissertations at 25% off of the regular cost.
- Payment for requested dissertations, which will be delivered to and held for pickup in the Interlibrary Loan office, must be made by check or in cash prior to the submission of an order to UMI. Cost per dissertation for faculty, staff, and students will be $30.00.
- To take advantage of this discount, patrons should submit their dissertation requests through ILLiad indicating in the NOTES field that payment may be expected by a certain date. When payment is received, the dissertation will be ordered.
- If you would like to purchase a dissertation without the library discount, you can go straight to UMI Dissertation Services (also linked below).
