Looking for information about thesis formatting? Wondering when to submit your final thesis to the library? Learn about all things thesis in the Thesis Help 2022-2023 Guide.
You will submit your thesis for review twice; first to the Registrar (when you get your laurels) and then to the library after your Oral exam after making all corrections.
Your thesis must meet formatting requirements before it will be accepted by the library at the end of the thesis process. We recommend that you make sure your thesis is formatted correctly before you submit it to the Registrar before Orals exams. The library will reach out to students starting the week of May 1st with information about your submitted thesis and any formatting issues. If you have questions about formatting, citations, etc. you can also reserve an appointment with a librarian to chat about your thesis via the requesting help form.
If you’re not sure how to use the thesis template and want help with formatting, make an appointment with the Reed IT help desk.
A reminder to seniors that your thesis is due for final submission no later than Friday, December 16th, 2022 at 12noon.
Make any formatting changes requested by the library and corrections from your Orals Board.
Once corrections are made, log in to the online portal and submit your final thesis PDF to the library.
You will not be able to resubmit your thesis so make sure you are sending your finished document.
A librarian will check that your thesis meets the requirements and email you indicating if your submission has been approved or if further changes are required.
You are done!
The library will coordinate and cover the cost of the printing and binding of the two library copies. If personal copies are desired, please contact Print Services.

As part of a growing trend toward increased access, many scholars are choosing to publish in an Open Access format. Services like the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) index “high quality, peer_reviewed Open Access research journals, periodicals and their articles’ metadata.” (doaj.org) More than 2 million articles from 900 different journals are available in the areas of science, technology, medicine, social science, and humanities. To learn more about Open Access journals and repositories, visit Reed’s Open Access guide or check out the DOAJ FAQ site.

The library is happy to announce two new additions to Reed Digital Collections.
Nicholas Wheeler Physics Lectures
Nicholas Wheeler taught Physics at Reed from 1963 to 2010. Although his writings were never published, 27 volumes of his lecture notes on all the topics he taught were written out in his clear calligraphic script and bound for deposit in the Reed Library. These notes have become something of a cult classic and are still sought out by graduates of his classes. They have now been digitized and are presented in this collection for consultation and access by all.
Early Printing and Writing Collection
The Early Printing and Writing Collection consists of complete letters, documents, and manuscript books from all over Europe and several New World countries. Examples range from the early 15th century into the 20th century, with emphasis on the 16th and 17th centuries. From letters to tally books, archeological reports to war statistics, and Inquisition warrants to legal battles, these items are also of great historical interest worthy of scholarly study. They are unique and are only now available for such study.
The Library is offering trial access to Brill’s New Pauly Supplements, vols 1-6. These reference works complement Reed’s current holdings of the seminal and comprehensive New Pauly resource. Users are invited to send comments to Angie Beiriger no later than April 30.
