Dissertations in ABI

I was in touch with Kate Jashari, our ProQuest/Factiva "account developer and trainer" regarding the scope of dissertations who wrote back:
"Here is a statement from Jackie Adams, our ABI/Inform product manager: They were chosen from the existing pool of PQ dissertations using a search on multiple subject codes related to: Business Administration, Economics, Education/Business. I looked them over to make sure they were subject appropriate to ABI. There are approx. 75% Doctoral Dissertations and 25% Master Theses. In general we stayed between 1999 - 2002. There are some earlier dissertations that were chosen because they matched the authors in Scholar Universe. Here's information about the Scholar Universe Author Profiles she mentions. You can see some profiles by searching ABI for AU(James Hoffman) and viewing the indexing of any of his articles.Author Profiles from scholar Universe are available in ABI/INFORM! – The web's fastest growing collection of accurate, regularly updated, and richly linked Authority Profile™ content covering faculty members, published authors, professional researchers and their organizational affiliations is linked inside of ABI/INFORM®. "

(Scholar Universe seems to be some sort of product ProQuest recently acquired. I still plan to be in touch with Kate. If you have questions or comments, please let me know).
