The University of Southern California has always contributed dissertation
information to Dissertation Abstracts. For a number of years we chose to
not give UMI a monopoly in reproducing our dissertations, and those
dissertations must be ordered directly from USC Micrographics, part of
Doheny Memorial Library.
As of the mid-1990s, USC dissertations are available through UMI (now Bell
& Howell).

>Gilbert, Barbara C.
>Anglo-Jewish Art Collectors of the Victorian Period : Patterns in
>Collecting. Los Angeles : University of Southern California, 1986. USC
>Order # 3209D

>This must be directly ordered from USC because they don't participate in
>University Microfilms Dissertation Project.

>In 1993 and 1994, the Huntington Art Reference Library ordered several
>hundred dissertations on British, American, and continental art from UMI in
>hardbound Xerox form. After asking UMI to go back 30 years in their
>database, we got an immense, 3-inch thick printout from UMI, then winnowed
>every appropriate title.
>Now we need to fill in dissertations from USC and MIT, who I understand have
>never participated in UMI. Also, I understand that Stanford and the
>University of Chicago came late to UMI, as did all of Canada. What about
>older dissertations from these sources? During bibliographic searching, we
>discovered quite a few titles were never published as trade publications.
>Even those that are published may have truncated scholarly apparatus or
>condensed texts. It can be crucial to compare the dissertation with its
>trade publication, so we acquired both versions.
