Authors of theses and dissertations may temporarily restrict access to their work by placing a hold, or embargo, on the work for a period of time. The Libraries are not authorized to provide copies of the work during this time. You can find out if a thesis or dissertation has an embargo by searching for it in the OakTrust Repository.
If there is an embargo:
There will be a notice at the top of the record stating that it is not available because it is under embargo.
You can click on the "Show full item record" link to find out when the embargo will be lifted; the date will be listed under local.embargo.lift.
NOTE: Even though the link to the pdf is active, clicking on it will take you through the login process only to find out that it is restricted. This is not a mistake. Theses and dissertations with an embargo are not available to anyone.
