How to find TAMUK Theses in the Library

There are a few different ways of looking up theses in Oasis, the library’s online catalog. If you know the name of the author, you can perform an author search. If you know the title of the thesis, you can perform a title search.

If you do not know the author or title you should do a keyword search in Oasis (electronic catalog). Oasis is located under  Books & More on the library’s webpage. Select keyword and  type in the word “theses.” This will bring up all the theses done at TAMUK. They will be listed starting with the most current.  If you have a specific topic, you can type that as well: in the search box  type “theses and your topic” (for example “theses Texas art”). Please remember that it can take up to three months after the thesis is written for the library to obtain a copy.

All theses, dissertations, and research projects done by TAMUK students are shelved behind the Circulation Desk.
