I am looking for a thesis or dissertation

If you are looking for theses or dissertations written by San Jose State University students, search in OneSearch on the home page of the library website. You can find these papers by searching on author, title, or subject. Older works (those written before 2009) will be available in print at the King Library but newer works will only be available online.

Fun fact: ScholarWorks, the campus institutional repository, is the platform used for storing SJSU dissertations and theses. OneSearch links directly to ScholarWorks and the full text, if it is available.

If you are looking for theses and dissertations written by students outside of San Jose State, use the ProQuest Dissertations and Theses database. You can do a basic keyword search or search for a specific title or author. Note: Not everything in this database is available in full text online. If you find a dissertation or thesis that is not available in full text, request it through Interlibrary Loan.
