Submission of Honors Thesis to University Libraries

The University Libraries and the Honors & Scholars programs are giving students the opportunity to submit their final Honors Thesis directly to the University Libraries Knowledge Bank. The Knowledge Bank contains collections of reports, presentations, publications, and policies and procedures related to The Ohio State University's implementation of an institutional repository.

Students will be required to submit their final Honors Thesis in the searchable Knowledge Bank for future references. Students must attend one training session during the quarter of graduation to learn about the self-submission procedures for their digital thesis. Please contact the College's Honors Director for more information regarding the submission processes.

You can locate the Knowledge Bank Web site here.

Then by clicking on Honors Theses, located under the Communities Heading, students can search for Honors Theses by topic, titles, authors or date submitted.
