DDC Reading Room Policies and Procedures: Theses

Thesis deliveries from departments must be accompanied by a delivery form. Copies of the form are stored in the filing cabinet behind the reference desk. Print new delivery forms when necessary [linked from this guide].

Make sure the form is completely filled out.

The delivering department should fill out the following fields:

• Department or Program
• Date Delivered
• Degree Date
• Number of Boxes (if applicable)
• Number of Theses (individual titles, not number of copies)
• Department Contact (Name & Email Address)

Initial form upon receipt. If multiple boxes are received copy the form, and fill in the section "Box ___ of ___" for each box and attach.

Please email thesis-delivery@mit.edu with information about how many theses were received and from which department.

The Thesis Project Associate will deliver paper theses to 14N-118 after cataloging, when they are ready to be sent to Harvard Depository (HD).

• Place theses in grey bins (indicating new accessions). Contact reference team if there are none available.
• When the grey bins are picked up by HD, email thesis-delivery@mit.edu to let them know the theses are offsite (include box numbers).
