The best database for searching and locating electronic theses and dissertations not published by LSU is Proquest Dissertations and Theses: Global (https://libezp.lib.lsu.edu/login?url=https://search.proquest.com/pqdtgl…) . As the official digital dissertations archive for the Library of Congress and as the database of record for graduate research, PQDTGlobal includes millions of searchable citations to dissertations and theses from 1861 to the present day together with over a million full-text dissertations that are available for download in PDF format. You can find this database by going to the Databases tab on the library's homepage (https://www.lib.lsu.edu/) . Either search the name of the database or select the letter that its name begins with, and scroll down. The databases will be listed in alphabetical order. See the attached screenshot. In the event the title is not available digitally through this database, I would recommend placing an interlibrary loan (https://www.lib.lsu.edu/services/ill) request. They will try to borrow a hard copy from another library or explore purchase options for obtaining the title. eResources Staff Answered by: Electronic Resources

Please see the answers to your questions below about features in EBSCO's MyEBSCO folder. On the left of each article, there are words like "export", "cite", and "notes".
- These features allow you to manage the contents of the folder. For example, if you want to export the citation to a citation management (https://guides.lib.lsu.edu/c.php?g=279388&p=1862193) tool like Endnote or Zotero, you can do that. Or if you want to make notes about the citation and come back to them at a later date, the note for that citation will still be there. If you are interested in learning more about citation management and how it can help you organize your research, refer to our Citation LibGuide (https://guides.lib.lsu.edu/citation) as well as our workshop (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRcFIlrWpDg&list=PL5ZtZe36ynPlutYgX4_x0…) about Zotero where you will learn how to set up Zotero to save and store sources and generate citations. To view upcoming workshops, please use our events calendar (https://lsu.libcal.com/calendar/eventsandprogramming) . What do these features actually do? How long does content remain in my folder?
- As long as you are logged into the MyEBSCOhost platform, the citations will stay there until you remove them. Here are some FAQs (https://connect.ebsco.com/s/article/EBSCOhost-Folder-Frequently-Asked-Q….) regarding how long content is kept in the folder. How do I delete an article from my folder if it is not relevant?
- To remove result(s) from your personalized folder, select the result by clicking on the appropriate check box, then click the Delete Items link. You may find this page (https://connect.ebsco.com/s/article/How-to-Use-the-My-EBSCOhost-Folder?…) useful in learning how to use the folder as well. Feel free to reach out to your subject librarian (https://www.lib.lsu.edu/staff?field_staff_type=2&search_api_staff=&fiel…) for more assistance. eResources Staff Answered by: Electronic Resources

In almost every case, Interlibrary loan is free to use. LSU Libraries covers up to $65 per request. If our cost exceeds $65, we will email and ask you to pay the overage amount before we proceed with the request. Answered by: Jacob Fontenot
