Any suggestions for this poor grad student will be gratefully accepted. She's looking for academic research on industrial design, particularly theory, and including other master's theses. She's already looking in all possible indexes--Art Index/Full Text; BHA; daai; Artbibliographies Modern; Masters Abstracts International; DAI. If anyone knows of an unusual source, I'd like to hear about it. If your institution produces a reasonable number of theses on this topic and there's any way to look then up, I'd be happy to know about it. "For my thesis, I will be looking at the relationship between academic and professional approaches to industrial design research. A portion of the work will be based on a website devoted to Industrial Design research that I am creating this semester. As you may know, industrial design does not have a strong academic tradition. I've found surprisingly little information about theories of industrial design." Edith L.
