The British Library is holding a free webinar on how their EThoS PhD theses service works. This is a repeat of the successful webinar they held on the 10th December last year.

EThOS http://ethos.bl.uk is the UK’s 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.

 

The webinar will cover: 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.
