Starting in summer 2022, all Dartmouth graduate theses and dissertations will be published in Dartmouth Digital Commons. This means that future graduate theses will only be only published electronically, not in both print and electronic formats as in the past. Additionally, the platform for publishing Dartmouth's theses and dissertations will switch from ProQuest to Dartmouth Digital Commons, a publishing platform maintained by the Dartmouth Library. This shift will provide several advantages including making the submission process more efficient, eliminating printing costs for students, preserving limited shelf space in the library, and making the materials freely available to anyone with an internet connection (though authors will be able to select an embargo period when they post work, during which information about the thesis metadata such as author name and degree type will be publicly available, but not the full text of the thesis). Most importantly, by making this change, Dartmouth Library and the Guarini School will have more direct control over the process and make the submission process less confusing for students.
More information and guidelines about writing and submitting your thesis are available from Guarini's page of Thesis and Dissertation Forms.
