EThOS - Update

EThOS, the British Library's thesis digitisation service launched in January and has so far made over 24,000 theses available for immediate download. It allows researchers to access theses online and showcases the quality of UK postgraduate research.

The service has been extremely popular with researchers and digitisation times for theses not already available electronically have dramatically reduced.

Already Bournemouth University has 142 digitised theses in EThOS, which are also being added to BURO.
