<\/a><\/p>\nPersonally, I find using the Aquabrowser version of the catalogue<\/a> quite useful for\u00a0a quick\u00a0(if dirty) search of\u00a0what’s available. Type in theses<\/em> + another search term – e.g. christianity, New Testament etc – into the search box. I searched for eschatology theses<\/a><\/em>. Once you’ve got your list of results make sure that you select ‘New College Library’ from the list of library locations and you should get New College Library\u00a0results only. One health warning here\u00a0: you will also get books with the word ‘theses’ in the title and you may get theses from other universities if we have them in the library.<\/p>\n For more precision, you can use the ‘classic’ library catalogue interface. Go straight to the advanced search<\/a>. Type theses<\/em> into the search box . Add any additional keywords into the remaining search boxes. Make sure you choose a year of publication option – <\/strong>click one of the radio buttons. For instance you can click the first radio button and choose to search the last 50 years. Now go down to the Library location box and choose New College Library<\/strong> only.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0Another tip – when you click the search button at the bottom of the form, choose the search button next to where it says ’10 records per page’. Don’t<\/strong> click the word ‘Search’ which is on the tab at the bottom of the page next to Saved Searches.\u00a0If you\u00a0do\u00a0– as I’ve found to my frustration –\u00a0it thinks you want to start a new search and\u00a0you end up having to start over again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In response to your questions, here’s some tips for finding New College theses on the University of Edinburgh Library catalogue.
