When the LTS Thesis Coordinator, (Peter DelaCuadra), is contacted by a patron or notified by Reference department that a patron wishes to see a thesis before it has been processed, ask for patron's contact information (name, phone/e-mail) so that you can provide information on the availability of the thesis. Check the latest list of Advanced Degrees Conferred for the author. If the author does not appear on the list, the degree has not yet been conferred, (meaning LTS may not yet have print copy on hand). If the author appears on the list, and we have the particular thesis awaiting processing, double check to see if the electronic copy does not have an EMBARGO, as the type of EMBARGO may effect circulation, (see note below). If the print copy thesis does not have a restricted EMBARGO, inform the patron and/or Reference staff of the situation and that the thesis can be provided for a viewing. Once Reference and the patron have agreed on the viewing arrangements, the LTS thesis liaison will take the unprocessed thesis to the security desk of the Rare Books and Manuscripts Division in 2B Kroch Library, where the patron can view it in the secure reading room. Standard viewing time frame is two weeks from date of request. Patron does have the option of requesting additional time. When the time frame has expired for the viewing period, the LTS thesis liaison will go to RMC and retrieve the thesis and return to LTS cataloging for further processing.
