Graduates and recent graduates are encouraged to make their dissertations, capstones, and theses available online through the ORB. By sharing their work on the ORB, students have a place they can link to via resumes, websites or curriculum vitaes for prospective employers and to share with their current and future colleagues, family and friends. Works shared on the ORB reach a global audience, and you will be able to see the reach and impact of your work across the world through the author dashboard feature. To submit your thesis or dissertation, complete our submission form or contact us at orb@binghamton.edu.
Dissertation Digitization Project We are currently digitizing our pre-1978 dissertations (approximately 260) and making these available through the Libraries’ institutional repository, the ORB. Until recently, these older dissertations were only available as physical copies in the libraries. Expanding access to these dissertations through digitization supports our strategic plan. The project also helps increase the open access availability of our theses and dissertations collections and expands access to the scholarship of alums. If you are an author of a dissertation written after 1978, or a master’s thesis, and you wish to have it digitized and made available full-text online, please contact us at orb@binghamton.edu . This is a free service. Works shared on the ORB reach a global audience, and you will be able to see the reach and impact of your work across the world through the author dashboard feature. If you are an author of a dissertation written before 1978 and do not want your dissertation available in the ORB, please see our take down policy . If you are an author of a dissertation that has been digitized and you would like to add your email address to the record in order to receive monthly author dashboard reports, please contact us at orb@binghamton.edu.Theses/Dissertations from 1975
