A related question to all :

Is there a way to know how many national dissertations are completed
in LIS on an annual basis ?  Other than checking Proquest
Dissertations & Abstracts by school etc ? and by specializations also?
  This question may have been asked previously, just wondering about
this in terms of ALISE -is this something that is also maintained
somewhere still?

I know that Arthur Young used to maintain a bibliography of
dissertations & theses
The last edition I have is from 1988  the 3rd revised edition:  there
may be others more recent-?

American Library History: A Bibliography of Dissertations & Theses
Arthur P. Young  ISBN 0810821389
"This third revised edition is based on Michael H. Harris' A Guide to
Research in American Library History (Scarecrow, 1968; 2d edition,
1974)

Thank you,
Karen
