A Bibliography of Dissertations and Theses on Cooperatives

Excerpts from the report: Many bibliographies on cooperatives have been compiled. Whereas published studies in the field have merited incorporation in bibliographies, references to research carried out by candidates for the doctoral degree and master's degree have often been omitted. Many graduate studies have remained on university library shelves in manuscript form. During the 51-year period from 1913 to 1964, a total of 586 dissertations and theses on cooperatives were accepted. Except for a period following World War II, the number of accepted dissertations and theses has grown steadily. A subject-matter index forms the final part of this report. Of practical necessity, this index is based only on the titles of the dissertations and theses listed in the bibliography. Despite this limitation, the subject matter index should increase the usefulness of the bibliography
