Theses and projects written by Sacramento State graduate students are bound and held in the Library for research use. Access to the materials is provided in two ways: microfiche and hard bound. Theses are submitted to the Graduate Studies office on campus and brought to the Library which arranges for microfiche processing and binding.

Microfiche copies of theses are available in the Microforms Collection, housed in the Library Media Center and may be requested using the call number Microfiche 009985 and the author's last name, e.g., Microfiche 009985 Martinez. Reader/printer machines provide a means of reading or obtaining hard copies of microfiche theses. An additional microfiche copy is located in University Archives.

The Library sends the materials out to be bound by a commercial bindery. These bound theses are cataloged and shelved by call number on the Lower Level and circulate. Some bound theses with accompanying media may be shelved in the Library Media Center.
