Water is one of the most interdisciplinary topics in natural resources librarianship. At OSU we not only support the growing Water Resources Graduate Program (in which faculty from six colleges and Extension participate), but a search of our library catalog for "water"-related theses and dissertations reveals that disciplines as diverse...
