How To Access Theses & Terms And Conditions Of Access
Interrogators of the catalogue who wish to consult the original thesis or dissertation should not contact the Irish Georgian Society but make direct contact with the awarding academic institution.
The procedure for applying for access varies according to academic institution and type of theses/dissertation the reader wishes to consult.
Generally all postgraduate degree theses are lodged in the universities' libraries, while undergraduate dissertations and postgraduate dissertations submitted in partial fulfilment of a degree are kept in the universities' departments, either the head of the department's office or the individual departments' reading room.
Where a thesis is held in the individual department or school the following access conditions should be noted.
All access is at the discretion of the head of department and may be withdrawn at any time.
Not all dissertations are available for consultation.
Access is on condition that each reader will read, sign and abide by the terms and conditions of the individual department.
Access is by prior application only; appointments may not be available in term time; readers seeking access must apply to the head of department specifying the dissertation(s) required and reasons for requesting consultation.
No part of any dissertation may be photocopied except where the author has explicitly permitted in writing such copying.
The university departments cannot undertake to contact authors on behalf of readers.
Each reader will read and sign a document agreeing to guarantee the dissertation author's ownership of the intellectual property he or she has been permitted to consult and will promise not to make any use of material derived from a dissertation without giving full acknowledgement, such acknowledgement to include the dissertation author's name, the full dissertation title, the level of dissertation, date and departmental affiliation.
