YOUR DISSERTATION
This section of the ProQuest web site provides information specifically for authors to all of you who will be submitting your dissertation with ProQuest.

AND DISSERTATIONS
The UVa Library provides you with access to the Proquest Dissertations and Theses database. When you access the database as a UVa affiliate, you can search for and read most dissertations published in the U.S. full text. Proquest now has another database called Proquest PQDT Open database. This database allows anyone in the world to access the dissertations in the PQDT Open Access database full text without charge.

When you finish writing your dissertation at UVa, you submit it to Proquest and it will automatically go into the Proquest Dissertations and Theses database. University libraries that contract with that database will provide full text access to your dissertation.

You can also opt to put in into the Proquest PQDT Open as a Open Access dissertation. This will allow anyone, anywhere full text access to your dissertation. The current charge to put your dissertation into the Proquest PQDT Open database is $95.00. More info can be found here.

And, yes, the dissertations that are in Proquest PQDT are all in Proquest Dissertation and Theses database. However, the reverse is not true.
