Hi Sam,
I am extremely grateful to you for posting the link to ProQuest thesis
service. This has resulted in my accessing within minutes an overseas
thesis that I've been trying to obtain at an affordable rate (to no
avail) for the past year. My previous searches have even involved the
privilege of being granted department inter-library loan tokens, only
then to find that they were unable to access the thesis I wanted.
So again a post to this forum has provided an invaluable service
including allowing access to an otherwise unavailable thesis.
Many thanks,
Rebecca Sandover
