    1. [TGF] Permission to cite material in a dissertation
    2. Margaret R. Fortier via

    3. I would like to cite material in a Ph.D dissertation which is unpublished in book form, but published electronically by the university and publicly available through the university. The author, of course, retains copyright. My question is whether I should contact the author when I know specifically what I would cite or should I ask permission giving a general guideline of the material I am interested in? So really a question of timing. Is there a protocol for this? I do not expect to quote from the material extensively; it is more for sourcing historical context. Thanks for your guidance. Margaret R.

    3. Thank you, Elizabeth. I must have been thinking that the fact it is unpublished made a difference, which it doesn't. Margaret On Sat, Dec 13, 2014 at 2:50 PM, Margaret R.
