[Irtalk] [Fabteam] Searching theses & dissertations internationally; proposals

[Smith, Ina <ismith@sun.ac.za>]

Many thanks to Henda van den Berg for reminding me of the following link:

Nexus Database for "Current and Completed Research Projects"
http://www.nrf.ac.za/nexus

I have added the info below to our SUNScholar Help Wiki (http://wiki.lib.sun.ac.za/index.php/SUNScholar ) for future reference (http://wiki.lib.sun.ac.za/index.php/Completed_theses_and_dissertations ) and will also add all future updates on this page.

Kind regards
Ina
