We now have more than 2500 theses available online through the University of Cape Town's repository, with only around 180 remaining to complete the collection from 2010. The 2011 collection is fully available and most of the 2012 theses have also been added. Users can search for theses by author name, title words, or use the advanced search to find 2012 theses specifically, and then email links to theses directly from their metadata pages.
