Ethos

Vastly improved, secure access to UK Higher Education research theses achieved via a web browser search facility available to any internet connected desktop or laptop computer

Streamlined request processes, reducing delivery lead time to the researcher from a scale of weeks to minutes when delivered electronically to the desktop

Digitisation and electronic centralisation (from current institutional e-theses systems) of all UK Higher Education research theses from many, geographical sources to one central, British Library-based database i.e. a "one stop shop".

EThOS is:

Improving research theses access to those who need it

Improving post graduate research knowledge transfer to students

Creating a one stop electronic shop for all UK Theses

Promoting UK Higher Education post graduate research to the world

Contributing to the global knowledge pool
