Using doctoral theses in your research: a guide to EThOS

EThOS (http://ethos.bl.uk) is the national database for PhD theses, managed by the British Library. It's a fantastic resource for researchers, with over 100,000 UK theses freely available to download and use for your own research, and another 200,000 available to search and scan on demand. 

 

Join a free webinar to learn how EThOS works. Find out how to search for and download theses, and what to do if a thesis isn't available. If you're a PhD student, find out what will happen to your thesis once it's completed. We'll also explain how EThOS works with UK universities to support the whole research cycle, making the theses more visible and available for new researchers to use and build on.

The webinar will take place on the 13th February, 3:00pm and is a repeat of the webinar which ran in December, 2013
