In this section, UBC Research Commons staff have compiled a number of books available through UBC Library that might help you in your dissertation writing. In addition to the general books on this page, there are also pages with books related to writing in the Humanities and the Arts, the Social and Behavioural Sciences, the Sciences, and Business. For disciplines that fall under more than one of these broad areas, such as education or social work, we've included the books in all the broad disciplines that seem to be most appropriate.
If there's a book you've used that doesn't appear on any of these pages, please e-mail us and let us know!
These books may be somewhat dated now, but can still provide useful tips for writing theses and dissertations.
