Binding Copies of Completed Master's Theses and Doctoral Dissertations for Center City/Hahnemann Campus Departments/Programs

Materials must be brought to Hahnemann Library's Technical Services Department (room 2275), or to the Associate Director's office (room 2221) between 9:30a.m. and 4:30p.m., Monday through Friday. Other times may be arranged by appointment.

Required

• Two print copies of the thesis/disssertation: After binding, one copy will go into the library's collection, the other to the department in which the thesis was developed. Check to see if the department requires a particular kind of paper for either copy. The library recommends that at least one copy be printed on 100% cotton paper; this copy will go into the library's collection. Check to see if your department's requirements differ.
• Office of Graduate Studies Completion Form: The library's thesis contact will provide the final signature on this form.
• Two copies of the Completed T-1 Dissertaton/Thesis Approval Form: One copy of this form is bound in with each copy of the thesis/dissertation.
• Payment of $40.00 ($20 for each copy of the thesis/dissertation): The library accepts cash, Visa, and MasterCard, and cashier's checks, traveler's checks, certified checks and money orders, payable to Drexel University. The theses/dissertations will not be bound until full payment has been made.
• An extra copy of the title page of the thesis/dissertation, required for record-keeping. On this page, please include your email address where you can be reached for up to six months, as well as the number of copies that you are requesting, and the date of submission for binding.

Optional

• A digital copy of the thesis/dissertation to be archived in iDEA, Drexel's institutional repository and archives. This must be accompanied by a completed Permission to Digitize and Display a Copyrighted Work form. PDF, DOC, and DOCX files are acceptable, and should be sent by email to diane.kinney@drexel.edu.
• Additional print copies of the thesis/dissertation: Submit as many copies as desired, with payment of $20 per copy; each copy must be accompanied by a copy of the Thesis Approval Form. Additional copies may also be submitted for binding at a future date.

Notes

• Due to bindery restrictions, the library is required to submit orders of a specific size. Consequently, there may be a delay between submission of theses/dissertations and when they are sent to the bindery. The library's thesis contact will provide information about an anticipated timeline.
• The thesis contact will provide notification by email when the bindery shipment goes out and when it returns (four weeks later). The department in which the thesis/dissertation was completed will be responsible for distributing them unless specific arrangements are made to pick them up at the library.
