This free webinar (online presentation) on Thursday 13th February at 15.00 is aimed at researchers, students, and anyone who is interested in finding and using PhD theses.

EThOS is the national database for PhD theses, managed by the British Library. It's a fantastic resource for researchers, with over 100,000 UK theses freely available to download
and use for your own research, and another 200,000 available to search and scan on demand.

Join the free webinar to learn how EThOS works. Find out how to search for and download theses, and what to do if a thesis isn't available. If you're a PhD student, find out what will happen to your
thesis once it's completed. The webinar will also explain how EThOS works with UK universities to support the whole research cycle, making the theses more visible and available for new researchers to use and build on. To attend the webinar register here
