ProQuestPress Release: Dissertations via Amazon?
ResourceShelf pointed to the list of bestselling dissertations of 2004 (note, a University of Phoenix business PhD is top... hm? wonder why? really? maybe he's marketing it more? most of the top sellers are from night or distance or online-only schools? are the schools marketing the dissertations for recruitment of new students? are the libraries playing a role?) but didn't mention this quote farther down:
"ProQuest is continuing its tradition of preserving and providing access to this vital material by making portions of its PQDT database available for purchase through Amazon.com. "
