Looking for an old french disertation

Hi,

I'm looking for an old french diseration, which doesn't seem to be available
electronically (at least i couldn't find it anywhere) and none of the libraries
in switzerland seem to have it. Unfortunately, the author died a year ago,
so i cannot contact him directly anymore.

If anyone has an idea where and how i could get a copy (in any form)
of

Mécanismes non linéaires dans les résonateurs à quartz:
théorie, expériences et applications métrologiques
par Jean-Jacques Gagnepain, 1972

I would really appreciate your help.

The best place to start is usually the library of
the institution at which the dissertation was
presented.  If this was Mr. Gagnepain's PhD
dissertation, his UFFC obituary indicates that he
received his PhD from the University of Besançon in 1972.

His early papers may be derived from the
dissertation, including "Non linear effects in
piezoelectric quartz crystals" (Physical
Acoustics vol XI pp 245-288, Academic press 1975).

John Vig listed many of Mr. Gagnepain's IEEE
publications in an addendum to the UFFC obituary:

Attila,
a quick look at the "système universitaire de documentation" website
list the university libraries where a paper copy is available for loan:
http://www.sudoc.fr/008747431 (click on the "Où trouver ce document?"
link at the top) :

AIX-MARSEILLE 1 - BU Sci.St Charles
BESANCON - BU Sciences Staps
PARIS SUD Tg Besançon
POITIERS - BU Sciences
TOULOUSE 3 - BU Sciences

Unfortunately, as far as I understood, you need to be a student at a
French university for obtaining an interlibrary loan.
The global French libraries catalog (http://ccfr.bnf.fr) does not list
any additional (i.e. public) libraries where this is available.

Hope this can help a little...

regards,
Claudio

If all else fails, contacting the family would probably result in
getting access to a copy. A spouse or sibling is likely to have a
paper copy. It's not an ideal approach, but as a last resort, it may
lead somewhere.

Yes, i have read some of them already. I would like to
read the dissertation as well as it usually contains more
explenations on how things fit together.

Oh.. I didn't know there was such a nice list of his papers!
Thanks a lot

The French national library has a copy:
http://catalogue.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/cb359121237/PUBLIC
and there's a button on that page ("Acheter une reproduction") to buy
a paper copy or a scan.
