Search the library website
The MIT Libraries have launched a new search platform – Search Our Collections . Use this tool to explore, request, and access our print and online collections — primarily books, journals, and articles. See below for more details to help you find and get the materials you need.

Default “All” Quick Search
Our Quick Search remains the default search on the Libraries’ homepage (and above) – this aggregates results from several library search tools and from the results, you can connect to the new platform. This search offers a quick way to get to books, CDs, DVDs, articles, journals, archives and manuscripts collections, and website information.
Go straight to the new platform
- Main navigation under “Search” – see “Search Our Collections”
- Click on “Advanced search” under the search box
- Switch to the “Books and media” or “Articles and chapters” tabs. More info below.
- Shortcut URL: https://libraries.mit.edu/search-collections/
The “books + media” tab searches for books, ebooks, journals, databases, music, videos, scores, etc. The “libraries worldwide” option will run the search in MIT’s WorldCat , where you can request materials via BorrowDirect or Interlibrary Borrowing .
The “Articles + chapters” tab searches articles, book chapters, and more from scholarly journals, newspapers, and online collections. From this tab, you’ll also see links to scoped “journal” or “databases” searches.
More…
The “More” tab above provides a search of the Libraries’ website – search here for library staff, services, subject-based research guides, etc. as well as links to some other commonly used search tools.

In addition to the traditional monograph (i.e. a book-length manuscript), doctoral students may opt for a three-paper dissertation.
The three-paper option is based on three related publishable papers and is designed to be used in situations where the thesis material is better suited to three papers on the same general topic rather than turning the dissertation into a book. A dissertation cannot be comprised of essays on three totally separate topics.

The fourth semester as an MCP student is devoted to completing a thesis and rounding out course work leading to graduation. A thesis in the MCP program may take one of several forms: an independent scholarly research project guided by an advisor and readers; a directed thesis contributing to a larger research effort directed by a faculty member; or a professionally oriented thesis developed in the context of a studio or practicum course. In all cases the thesis must be a piece of original, creative work conceived and developed by the student.
The SM is a non-professional degree intended for professionals with a number of years of distinguished practice in city planning or related fields who: have a clear idea of the courses they want to take at MIT, the thesis they want to write and the DUSP faculty member with whom they wish to work.
The embedded table below shows recent DUSP MCP and SM thesis research. For access to PDF copies, please visit MIT Library's Dspace .
Undergraduate students in course 11 and course 11-6 are required to write a senior thesis or complete a senior project. The thesis/project writing process is accompanied by a required undergraduate thesis preparation seminar.
