CLUES

Concordia Libraries have a copy of almost every thesis submitted to the University. The master copy is kept in Special Collections at the Vanier Library along with any available non-print components (film, slides, etc.). In most cases, a circulating copy or a microfiche copy is also available in the Webster or Vanier Libraries. In addition, electronic copies of Concordia dissertations and theses published since 1997 can be downloaded from CLUES.
