One of the typical problems with doing reference work is patrons ask for material for a specific geographical scope, when our collection is focussed on the United States. Of course journal databases pick up the slack, more often than I'm comfortable with, the best I can do is say "look at the books on the country and look for the topic in the index, and vice versa. Access to sociology and political science dissertations from a particular country is a real boon to these type of patrons. Do you know of any other countries' efforts to create similar repositories?
