Linking to Full Text Theses

In early 2008, Index to Theses is launching a feature that identifies and links to the full text availability of theses online (ETD). Where an ETD is not yet available the new Index to Theses feature also describes existing, alternative routes available for obtaining the full text of a thesis. Although thesis full text availability remains limited in the UK to date, initiatives like the EThOS project are encouraging UK universities to build and often host their own online collections. The new Index to Theses feature is the result of ongoing research and records will be regularly reviewed and updated throughout the subscription year, reflecting current ETD availability.
