Q. How do I access non-UAH dissertations? Are they accessible to the public?

There are open-access PhD dissertations out there, but unfortunately the one you are looking for is not one of them.  You have two options - purchase a copy of this dissertation (PDF is $37) or you can request it via Interlibrary Loan and we'll do our best to get it for you. 

Here is a link to our dissertations Libguide (please click on the Other Resources tab) in case you decide to purchase it from the UMI Dissertations Express link or if you want to check out some of the open-access dissertations available from PQDT Open, provided by ProQuest.  You will also find links to universities that offer full-text access to some or many of their dissertations.
