Advanced Search:

For finding a specific thesis with a known author, but unknown year, go to the repository and add in the search box  the name of that author (you may use wildcards, e.g. "Bos*". This also gives authors like Van den Bosch. However, this search also looks into the other fields, so you will also get hits with the term "bos..." in title, abstract, etc.

For finding a thesis on a specific topic, go to the repository and type some keywords (keywords are connected with logical OR). Also here you may use wildcards, e.g. "breakwater*". When you use two search terms, the a logical AND, is used, e.g. "breakwater* toe" means "breakwater* AND toe".

For a listing of the PhD theses guided by a given promotor, go to the repository and type in the search box the name of the promotor, e.g.. "vrijli*".

You may limit your search to specific years. In the box "year" you may enter one year or a range (e.g. 2003-2009, <2005, >2008).

For a search to all dissertations in the library go to Discover TUDelft and type the name of the author (or a keyword) in the search box. In the left hand bar you may restrict your search to a given period or language.
