We're happy to announce that records for Emory Electronic Theses and Dissertations (ETDs) have now been loaded into discoverE.  This provides another way to find Emory graduate and undergraduate research, beyond the search capabilities on the ETD website

(https://etd.library.emory.edu/).    In any search result, if there are Emory ETDs included, a Collection term "Emory Electronic Theses and Dissertations" will show up on the left side; clicking on this allows DiscoverE users to filter search results to Emory ETDs.
