Library Handling of Completed and Approved Dissertations
After your dissertation has earned departmental approval and collected the necessary signatures, three items must be submitted to the library:
1. A digital file of your dissertation including the signed attestation page
- in .pdf format, if it is a text document
- for digital files in other formats, please contact the library via library@sunypoly.edu regarding archivability
2. A signed non-exclusive distribution license for your work to be archived in SUNY's Open Access Repository, SOAR [link to blank release]
Cayan Library no longer provides bound copies of dissertations, theses, capstones, and other significant student-authored works. To arrange your own bound copy, you might consider using the third party service Thesis on Demand.
