Dissertations

Writing a dissertation can be daunting, but our professional librarians are here to help. Contact us at reference@holyfamily.edu for help.

Holy Family's librarians created this guide to help you locate:

• Peer-reviewed journal articles and other sources of information
• Dissertations
• Statistics 

We can also help you learn more about:

• Research ethics
• Using APA format

The Center for Academic Enhancement can assist you with the writing process. 

Academic Writer can help you write and cite in APA Style. Note that effective August 3, papers and citations in Academic Writer will automatically transition to the APA 7 format. Click the logo to get started. New user? Click here.

Need help with APA style? Those page numbers and headers getting you down? Don't know how to cite sources? You can use Academic Writer (formerly APA Style Central) to write and cite in APA style. Academic Writer includes tutorials to help you learn the ins and outs of APA format.
