The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) (https://www.uspto.gov/) provides information, publications, forms, guides, and services on searching and registering for patents and trademarks. In addition, LSU Libraries has a Patent and Trademark Resource Center (PTRC), representative who can answer general questions about the patent and trademark process. You can schedule a one-on-one consultation with them by appointment (https://lsu.libcal.com/appointments/caple) .

LSU theses and dissertations can be found by accessing the LSU Scholarly Repository (https://repository.lsu.edu) website. If the title you are looking for is not available, contact the Institutional Repository Librarian at ir@lsu.edu (mailto:ir@lsu.edu ) for further assistance.

The best database for searching and locating electronic theses and dissertations not published by LSU is Proquest Dissertations and Theses: Global (https://libezp.lib.lsu.edu/login?url=https://search.proquest.com/pqdtgl…) . As the official digital dissertations archive for the Library of Congress and as the database of record for graduate research, PQDTGlobal includes millions of searchable citations to dissertations and theses from 1861 to the present day together with over a million full-text dissertations that are available for download in PDF format. You can find this database by going to the Databases tab on the library's homepage (https://www.lib.lsu.edu/) . Either search the name of the database or select the letter that its name begins with, and scroll down. The databases will be listed in alphabetical order. See the attached screenshot. In the event the title is not available digitally through this database, I would recommend placing an interlibrary loan (https://www.lib.lsu.edu/services/ill) request. They will try to borrow a hard copy from another library or explore purchase options for obtaining the title. eResources Staff
