“Between repetition and forgetting, it is a marvel that a new thought ever struggles into existence” -- Mason Cooley
Keeping up can be hard to do, and I am always looking for ways to ease the process. One way is to monitor dissertations being produced by doctoral candidates. If you are part of a corporation large enough to support a library, you probably have access to Dissertation Abstracts International, a ProQuest (http://www.proquest.com/) product.
The less fortunate among you have to scrounge for other ways to access this valuable information. First stop … your local public library. I have mentioned this before, but it bears repeating … public libraries, many of them, are doing their best to provide online access to databases that individuals cannot afford to subscribe to.
My public library … Houston Public Library (http://www.houstonlibrary.org/) … for example, offers access for library card holders to FirstSearch (WorldCat), an OCLC (www.oclc.org) product.
Search WorldCat for dissertations containing the keyword “desulfurization,” for example, and you come up with a list of titles like the one that appears below.
Incidentally, I want to put in a plug for OCLC in particular, and librarianship in general. Libraries were on board with the power of computers to network information way back in 1967 …
"OCLC Online Computer Library Center, Inc. is "a nonprofit, membership, computer library service and research organization dedicated to furthering public access to the world's information and reducing the rate of rise of library costs".[1] It was incorporated on July 6, 1967 as the not-for-profit Ohio College Library Center.[2] 72,000 libraries in 86 countries and territories use OCLC services to locate, acquire, catalog, lend and preserve library materials."
