Are University of Pittsburgh theses and dissertations currently being submitted or published in an electronic format?
Since December 2001, students have had the opportunity to submit either an electronic or hard-copy manuscript of their theses and dissertations; prior to that electronic submissions were not accepted. University of Pittsburgh dissertations submitted since 1997, however, have been scanned and posted online as electronic texts by ProQuest’s UMI division as a routine part of the dissertation publication experience. These dissertations are available via ProQuest Digital Database.
