For dissertations produced by Alliant, CSPP, California Western University or USIU search Encore or Classic Catalog. At the result screen, look on the left for the Format section and click on Theses to limit to items of the format "dissertation."
For dissertations produced by other universities and colleges search the database Dissertations & Thesis (ProQuest). You can find this from the library home page by clicking Research | Databases | D.
For proposals search the library catalog.
If you can't find it in the Alliant system, search LINKplus (for help, see How can I request items from LINK+ libraries?).
Dissertations not available in print or online at Alliant can sometimes be requested from the owning university through an Interlibrary Loan request - on the library home page, click Services | Interlibrary Loan. Please be aware that not all universities loan dissertations and you might need to purchase directly from ProQuest.
