We don't have a subscription to Dissertation Abstracts International (which has been renamed PQDT for ProQuest Dissertations and Theses). You may search Worldcat (at http://www.mtholyoke.edu/cgi/net/do-ezproxy?worldcat) to find a copy of the title and then use the red MH Links button to request an inter-library loan of the item.
You can confirm the title or spelling of a name with Dissertations Express (at http://disexpress.umi.com/dxweb) , which is a product by the same people who make Dissertation Abstracts International, and then use that to search WorldCat.
