Welcome to the Electronic Theses Online System (EThOSnet) project web site.

EThOSnet is a project funded by JISC, RLUK and the project partners, to bring the UK to the forefront of international e-theses provision.

The purpose of the EThOSnet project is to build a strong EThOS sponsorship network amongst the HE community and to achieve a high level of technological and organisational sustainability for a successful move from prototype to "live" system.

This system will enable students, researchers, and in fact anyone else with an interest in post graduate research theses material, to search the EThOS and to access, from the desktop, the full text, in secure format, of electronically stored theses, following selection.

It will also enable UK Higher Education institutions, in partnership with the British Library, to promote their post graduate research and increase usage of their theses output.

The EThOS toolkit includes many exemplars, operational type material, FAQs and other useful documents for HEIs to get ready for the launch of the EThOS service in September 2008: The EThOS Toolkit.

Please note that the time to sign-up to EThOS is now! If you were expecting notification for your institution to sign-up and haven't yet received it, please get in touch with the project team via info@ethos.ac.uk. You can also read more about the sign-up process in the EThOS Toolkit.


The EThOSnet project is part of JISC's (Joint Information Systems Committee) Start-up and Enhancement (SUE) Programme.
