Where can I have my dissertation printed and bound?
Answer
There is no expectation to have your dissertation or thesis bound at UT Dallas, and McDermott Library no longer actively adds physical copies of these materials to the collection. We do, however, occasionally receive inquiries about the process.
If you wish to produce a bound copy of your dissertation, there are a number of online services that can be used to upload the PDF of your work, then choose among paper types and the color of your cover. The finished product is shipped to you directly. Thesis On Demand (Indiana), PhD Bookbinding (Austin), and Bella Becho (Houston) are a few options, and some local book binderies will offer this service. Please note that McDermott Library has not vetted any of these sources.
