Thesis Papers

The thesis papers retained by the University libraries are catalogued and therefore searchable in OneSearchUNIPI.
The thesis papers, hard copy or on digital media (CDs, DVDs) preserved by the libraries are excluded from the loan and cannot be reproduced in any form.
It is possible to request both the discussed thesis from at least 40 years ago, and the subsequent discussed thesis provided that the author has released the free consultation of his work. To request a thesis, contact the library that owns the thesis.
