Thanks for the theses list. I do interlibrary loan and getting a thesis loan from another library is about a 10%-25% success rate at best.
Just a comment from the university point of view on the question: Very often the university has only a single copy of a thesis available to the public -- I know U.C. Berkeley only as a single copy of mine. And that one copy is the "proof" that it was ever written in the first place. (My department also has a copy, but it isn't for public circulation.) So the consequences of that copy going walkabout while off on interlibrary loan are fairly dire. This might explain why they're a little leery of lending them out.
