I agree with Sandra. Using Sodhsangais very diffficult to get the author and
citations of the chapter.
However,The Goa University site is accessible to me, but the access point may
be wrong. My personal
example. If I put Costa, nothing comes because I have been entered under
Fernandes. I tried to see how
best I could access my thesis. This is what I do: google. PhD Thesis, History,
Goa University, 2023. It
works.

Fred. My point is that it seems that at the site of GU they seem to have become
unavailable. I had
tried to get an answer regarding the matter, without success. As for Sodhsanga,
being a site that I
use, most times has the thesis divided by chapters which is
realy frustrating if one does not look for a especific thesis and is just
searching by keywords. It
has happened to me when looking for a theme, finding one of such chapters and
becoming really a hard
work to understand who is the author and the name of the
thesis. I have to confess that its been around a year that I don't use that
repository and sincerely
hope that such nonsense has been corrected. Best wishes, Sandra

Sandra, There are many sites where thesis (full texts) are available. See:

https://www.unigoa.ac.in/library/knowledge-portal/free-open-access-resources/electronic-theses-
dissertations/

Sodh Gangahas all Indian thesis included there, so I don't see any difficultyin
finding any. Except
maybe old theses which were never digitised:

Dear Frederick,

Until recently the publications/thesis repository associated with the
university were accessible to the
public, as good practices recommend. It was that way by which I and many other
scholars were able to
access and refer in their work, for instance, thesis
submitted to GU. That seems to have stopped, at least for those situated
outside India. It is a pity,
and I believe a loss to both the authors having their work divulged and outside
researchers to be able
to updating themselves to Goan scholarship.

Best wishes,

Sandra

There seems to be some mixup here...
(1) The sites listed by Dr Gopakumar are all on the Internet, and accessible
from anywhere on the
planet (which has access to the Internet).

(2) The
unigoa.ac.in site is publicly accessible too. Some sections though, like those
accessing subscription-
based databases, are accessible only from the campus or with a login, if I'm
not mistaken. Do mention
which pages you were trying to access and could not.
Someone on this list could offer more details. Thanks, FN

In this message you have provided /listed : "Some authentic open-source

" which employees and Students of Goa University can access. How can members
of GRN net access email
of different departments, know how many departments Goa University has ? .
Names of Professors of each
Department. Also can we access thesis Titles
and Contents (MSc and PhD) ? and publications of GU ? This would be
interesting and make Goa
University more known in its activity and actions.
