  • WORLD CATALOGUE of THESES on the PACIFIC ISLANDS Dickson Familiarity with Theses and Dissertations on His Subject Is Essential to the Research Worker
    WORLD CATALOGUE OF THESES ON THE PACIFIC ISLANDS Dickson WORLD CATALOGUE OF THESES ON THE PACIFIC ISLANDS Diane Dickson and Carol Dossor Familiarity with theses and dissertations on his subject is essential to the research worker. These usually unpublished works are not, however, normally included in bibliographies and manuscript catalogues. As early as 1955 the growing number of theses on the Pacific islands had led to a demand for a catalogue, which was partially met by the publication of an Index o f Social Science Theses on the South Pacific. The growing recognition of the importance of the Pacific area now calls for a more comprehensive inventory, covering all disciplines, which this cata­ logue attempts to supply. The catalogue is based on the micro­ film Library of Theses on the Pacific Islands maintained by the Department of Pacific History of the Australian National University, and expanded by study of all available theses catalogues and by requests for information from universities known to be interested in Pacific studies. It contains more than 1,000 entries and will be an essential aid to all workers in the field of Pacific studies. Price in Australia $3.90 This book was published by ANU Press between 1965–1991. This republication is part of the digitisation project being carried out by Scholarly Information Services/Library and ANU Press. This project aims to make past scholarly works published by The Australian National University available to a global audience under its open-access policy.
