ProQuest@WesternU


The library does not require print copies of your dissertation anymore.  Why is that so?  The library now has ProQuest@WesternU.  This product allows you to upload a digital copy of your dissertation and makes it discoverable to the larger ProQuest Electronic Thesis and Dissertation (ProQuest ETD) search database.  
 
If you want to search for dissertations and theses and obtain them freely, you can use ProQuest Open Access Electronic Thesis and Dissertation (PQDT Open).  This subset of ProQuest ETD allows you to obtain the dissertations and theses because the authors have selected the Open Access option upon submission.  

For information about submitting to ProQuest@WesternU, look at our ProQuest Dissertation and Thesis Submission Instruction webpage or contact reference@westernu.edu to make an appointment for help in submitting your dissertation to ProQuest@WesternU.

VetMed Resource

Veterinary Science Database is now available as VetMed Resource.  VetMed Resource was created by CABI as a response to demand for a single comprehensive information resource containing all of CABI's veterinary information to provide optimum support for veterinarians.  It is an online resource designed to support veterinary practitioners, technicians and others working in this field by providing comprehensive and high quality information.  In addition to all of the journals, proceedings, and compendiums available with Veterinary Science Database, we now have access to bulletins, CAB reviews, and the Animal Health and Production Compendium.

If you have any questions regarding VetMed Resource, please contact the Reference and Outreach Department at reference@westernu.edu
