) and the partners including The British Library and several UK Higher Education institutions led by Glasgow and Imperial. The aim of EThOS is to make UK theses (e and paper based) available via a 'one-stop-shop' by harvesting e-theses from Institutional Repositories and digitising paper theses on-demand from researchers. Once a thesis is digitised it is available for immediate free download in perpetuity and subsequently anywhere in the world direct to the researchers desktop.
To demonstrate the quality of UK research and help attract students and research investment into UK
by making UK doctoral theses discoverable and openly available online.
To offer a 'single point of access' where researchers the world over can access ALL theses produced by UK Higher Education via an Open Access model.
To support Higher Education Institutions through the transition from print to e-theses
