Want to know more about online thesis access? Training opportunity

We've had the following message from the British Library, advertising a webinar on their EThOs service, through which you can search for and access British theses:


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 us for 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.

This webinar is aimed at researchers, students, librarians and anyone
who is interested in finding and using PhD theses.

Host: Sara Gould, Development Manager at the British Library, who
manages the EThOS service. Sara will answer questions after the webinar.

Webinar on 10 December 2013, 11.00am GMT, register at

Help us improve! Short survey for researchers

As part of our commitment to improve the offerings we have for postgraduate researchers, we would be grateful if anyone on an MPhil or PhD course could fill out this short questionnaire.  It shouldn't take longer than 10 minutes to complete and will help inform future developments.

Thank you!
