Dissertation and Theses authors can put a temporary embargo on their work when they submit it to ProQuest's Dissertations & Theses database. An embargo is the temporary inaccessibility of a scholarly work to any potential reader or simply to those without a subscription to the journal and/or database that houses it. While a record containing basic bibliographic information about a given work will turn up in Library Search and various scholarly databases, the material itself will be inaccessible. Embargoes typically last for a specified amount of time (e.g., 12 months, 18 months, 5 years, etc.). Permanent embargoes are rare.
