Dissertations and Theses

cpotts@library.berkeley.edu (Claude Potts) — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 15:40:15 -0800

Find dissertations by searching Proquest Dissertations and Theses (PQDT), which indexes graduate dissertations from over 1,000 North American, and selected European, graduate schools and universities from 1861 to the present. Dissertations published since 1980 include brief abstracts written by the authors and some feature 24-page excerpts. The database offers full text for most of the dissertations added since 1997 and some full text coverage for older graduate works.

Also see Find Dissertations and Theses for other specialized sources. Dissertations completed at UC Berkeley can be found in OskiCat, using the feature allowing you to limit to dissertations/theses:

Older dissertations not available full text may be obtained through Interlibrary Loan or using the "Request" option in Melvyl.

Book Reviews

Most library databases for this grouping index primarily US and UK publications. The online and print sources listed below are better for non-US reviews. MLA, Historical Abstracts, and Periodicals Index Online are also good article databases for locating discipline-specific reviews in Iberian studies as are specific journals like Hispanófila, Revista Iberoamericana, or Revista de Literatura.

Monetary Gifts

cpotts@library.berkeley.edu (Claude Potts) — Fri, 16 Sep 2011 16:33:29 -0700

Financial support is very important to the future development and ongoing curation of the library's collections. Contributions provide funding for expensive resources, specialized equipment, conservation of rare books, and exhibits or special projects. Financial gifts may be unrestricted or support a specific library program, service, or collection. In addition to cash, the Library welcomes securities and other real or tangible property.

Endowments- Endowment funds may be established with a gift of $50,000 or more to support library collections, programs, projects or positions. These endowed funds provide the University Library, in perpetuity, with an annual income that ensures our collections and programs remain strong and vital regardless of the strength of state and campus budgetary support. Donors may choose to support specific programs, projects, or library materials in a discipline or area of the donor's choice. We encourage interested donors to contact us or the Library Development Office to discuss possible endowment opportunities.

Major Gifts - Significant contributions toward Library enhancements are welcomed and could include a recognition plaque or naming opportunities for improved areas, subject to campus approval procedures.

Memorial Gifts - Contributions given in memory or in honor of a person or to mark a special occasion are recognized with a bookplate and family members notified. For a gift of $1,000, a named memorial book fund can be established, and for gifts totaling $50,000 or more, a named memorial library endowment fund with its own special bookplate can be created.

Matching Gifts - Some firms match their employee's gifts to higher education. Ask your company's Matching Gifts Coordinator, or call 510/642-9377, and we will provide you with a list of companies with matching gift programs.

Planned Gifts - You may invest in the Library's future by including it in your estate plans without decreasing assets during your lifetime.

Bequests - The simplest method for a planned gift is to include the Library in your will. Bequests can take the form of cash, securities, or other property, and may be a specific sum or a stated percentage of the estate.

Trusts - A trust can be established to produce income for the donor or others during their lifetimes and ultimately provide future support for the Library. Cal's Gift Planning staff can provide assistance in determining an appropriate arrangement to meet your individual needs.

Book Donations

cpotts@library.berkeley.edu (Claude Potts) — Thu, 29 Sep 2011 09:55:53 -0700

Gifts of scholarly materials and the results of research have historically represented a significant element in the development of Berkeley's outstanding research collections. We welcome individual gifts, but due to space and staff limitations, we must be judicious in accepting large contributions. Donations of recently published books are welcomed. New book purchases will be checked to ensure titles aren’t already on order.

Please contact Frank Carothers to discuss your donation of books.

Berkeley’s world-class education and research depend on the ready access offered by the Library to a comprehensive record of human knowledge, together with the latest discoveries in every field of learning.

From rare and precious manuscripts to thousands of titles used in day-to-day research, the University Library’s Spanish and Portuguese collection supports students and faculty in Berkeley’s academic departments and programs. The holdings range from core collections housed in the Doe/Moffitt Libraries to specialized research materials in our fourteen subject specialty libraries. Just as Berkeley’s academic programs consistently rank at the top among their peers worldwide, the Library's collections that support those departments are internationally renowned for their depth and breadth.

The University Library is seeking private support to maintain the excellence of its collections. The cost of building these collections has increased dramatically, due to spiraling book and journal costs, as well as to the declining value of the dollar. It is due, as well, to a burgeoning of new information - a dramatic rise in the number and specialization of journals, the availability of full text and searchable electronic versions of items previously held only in print, and the emergence of new genres of digital content.

Spanish and Portuguese Wish List

cpotts@library.berkeley.edu (Claude Potts) — Wed, 11 Jul 2012 12:41:44 -0700

Please consider donating or underwriting the following items:

1) Digital journal and ebook packages through DIGITALIA

The move to digital has been slow for Spanish and Portuguese scholarly material. Digitalia - founded in 2007 - has negotiated the rights to redistribute the digital content with some of the most important Spanish publishers such as Anthropos, Biblioteca Nueva, Calambur, Ediciones Universidad de Salamanca, Ocho y Medio. Publicaciones de la Universidad de Alicante, Trotta, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid and more. Any level of contribution to the Spanish and Portuguese collections will help us in acquiring perpetual access to expensive new forms of delivery that can benefit students and faculty in novel ways. Varying donations accepted

2) Diccionario biográfico español / Director, Jaime Olmedo Ramos. Madrid: Real Academia de la Historia, 2011-. The result of twelve years’ work by the Real Academia de la Historia, the Diccionario biográfico español is a monumental work in 50 tomes, compiling 50,000 biographies of Spanish people living in Spain or in territories in the possession of the Spanish monarchy between III BC and the present day. This first editon of the Diccionario sees the collaboration of over 5,000 Spanish and international historians, divided into 10 subject committees. The work is coordinated by Quintín Aldea, ecclesiastical historian and librarian of the Real Academia de la Historia and directed by the philologist Jaime Olmedo. The 50,000 entries of the Diccionario are selected from a database of around half a million items for their specific relevance; each entry includes accurate personal data (name, surname, place and date of birth), title, pseudonym, main and secondary occupation, bibliography along with a detailed biography. An attempt to fill a void in Spanish historiography, this publication has generated an intense debate among scholars and journalists. The first 25 volumes of the Diccionario are already published, while a second group of 25 is due in 2012. 3.500,00 euros (4,624.22 USD + shipping and local taxes)

The following works have recently been acquired with generous support from Library donors:

Diccionario del Cine Iberoamericano / Coordinador: Emilio Casares. Directores: Carlos F. Heredero y Eduardo Rodríguez Merchán. Editado por la Sociedad General de Autores, Fundación Autor., 2011. The most complete cinematic dictionary available for 22 countries in the Spanish-speaking world, 16,000 entries with thematic and biographical entries.
