Many Haverford seniors are currently sweating out the final stages of the thesis writing process. It may give them some encouragement to know that Haverford online theses, accessible through the Senior Thesis Archive, are getting quite a bit of use.
Although the Archive was only launched in Autumn 2006, there are many theses getting hundreds of hits. The top ten most popular theses are listed below.
If you are writing a thesis, please think about giving a copy to the Archive where it will be available to future students in your department, prospective students and their parents, and interested researchers worldwide. For more information, contact Reference Librarian Margaret Schaus.
