A literature review is a written work that:

• Surveys scholarly articles, books, dissertations, conference proceedings, and other sources;
• Examines contrasting perspectives, theoretical approaches, methodologies, findings, results, conclusions.
• Reviews critically, analyzes, and synthesizes existing research on a topic; and,
• Performs a thorough “re” view, “overview”, or “look again” of past and current works on a subject, issue, or theory.

Three major steps to conducting a literature review are:

• Defining area, type, and purpose
• Researching utilizing books and databases to cover major and related works
• Writing out the findings of your research

Electronic theses & dissertations (ETDs)

Electronic dissertations and masters’ theses have been deposited in the Libra scholarly repository at the University of Virginia since 2012. Libra makes UVA scholarship available to the world and provides safe and secure storage for the scholarly output of the UVA community. Submitting your work to Libra is a graduation requirement for all graduate students whose programs have required theses and for PhD students. LibraETD is can be used by all students, undergraduate  or graduate, whose programs have optional theses or capstones.

Before you upload your thesis or dissertation, be sure you have reviewed:

Copyright Essentials for Scholarly Work  (including Graduate Students)

The ETD Submission Checklist

Older dissertation formats

All dissertations submitted to the UVA Library in CD format were deposited into Libra in early 2014. Access to these items is UVA-only, replicating the accessibility level of the originally deposited CDs.

If you are the author of one of these dissertations and would like to change the access level to be world-wide open access, please  contact us .

Paper copies

We no longer accept paper copies for the Library shelves.  Many frequently requested dissertations from the UVA collection have been added to Libra through a generous grant from Jefferson Trust. If you are the author of one of these dissertations now in Libra and would like to change the access level to be world-wide open access, please  contact us .

If your dissertation was published in paper previously and you would like it to be added to Libra, please  contact us .

Many UVA dissertations were deposited in ProQuest until 2012, and some students continue to take the option to deposit to this commercial vendor of databases and other information products. ProQuest’s  Dissertations and Theses Full Text  database contains many dissertations published in the U.S. and is used by scholars worldwide whose institutions opt to provide paid access to the database. ProQuest also sells full-text copies of dissertations directly to the public, though it is worth noting they do not share revenue from those sales with authors. NOTE: To access "online" ETD's in Proquest, you must be affiliated with an institution that subscribes to the ProQuest database.

ProQuest charges fees for submission, and they have particular formatting and copyright requirements.  Please see their  submission instructions  for details. UVA does not require thesis or dissertation deposit to ProQuest, nor does UVA have an institutional agreement with ProQuest for such deposit. Students who opt to deposit with ProQuest do so as individuals contracting with this vendor.

Congratulations on finishing your thesis or dissertation! We know a lot of work went into this, and you should be proud of your achievement.

Submitting your thesis to the library is just one part of the graduation process, so visit the University's Dissertation & Thesis Guidelines for more information about requirements. We also recommend checking the Graduate Academic Calendar or the submission deadline FAQ page to find the correct semester’s deadlines for submitting your intent to graduate, submitting a draft of your thesis, defending your thesis to your department, and submitting the final version of your work.

You should also make sure that your document is correctly formatted. Visit the library Guide on formatting your thesis or dissertation for more information.

Both the draft and the final version of your document must be submitted online through UML’s Electronic Theses and Dissertations portal (ETD), which is operated by ProQuest. The library does NOT accept paper copies or email attachments for thesis or dissertation for submissions.

Before you submit your product, visit the library ETD guide to make sure you have all the required elements ready. You will also need a credit or debit card to pay processing fees through the UMass Lowell e-commerce page and through the ETD portal. Currently, students must pay separate fees when submitting the draft and the final copy of their work. Check the Dissertation & Thesis Charges page for more information.

To start the submission process, visit the online ETD portal and log in or create an ETD account. Once logged in, you can select publishing options, upload files, register for copyright, order department copies, and pay for your order. You must order any personal bound copies you want when setting up your account. Once you submit your draft you can NOT change your order.

Make sure to specify whether you are submitting a draft or the final version by including a message in the "Notes to the ETD administrator" section of the online form. Your submission will not be published until your degree is conferred.

You can find complete instructions for submitting your thesis and access the ETD portal by visiting The UML Guide to Uploading Electronic Theses and Dissertations .

We also encourage you to watch our recorded livestream session about submitting your thesis or dissertation for answers to the most common questions about this process.

If you have any questions, please send an email to [email protected] .
