This database's intent is to provide our current graduate students with an easy, secure method for remotely searching and accessing documents completed and approved in fulfillment of our Ph.D. programs' various degree requirements.
The documents accessible include the reading lists written in preparation for the department's doctoral qualifying exam, dissertation prospectuses written as the last stage before candidacy is achieved, and materials related to the job market (including successful applications) can all be found here.
Clicking on the image of Virgil on this page will take you to the netID login portal for the database. Once you've entered the site, you'll be able to search for documents based on their type, author, committee member(s), title, general period, and even keywords within the texts themselves. Of course, the quality of the pdfs increases over the years, as documents progress from scans of yellowed typewritten paper to digital conversions of computer files.
Access is available only to students and faculty within the department who have active netIDs; problems with logging in (as well as any other issues encountered with the database) should be referred to the Graduate Program Assistant.
