Your help is much appreciated
While we try to hold as much relevant material in the Library as we can, there will be items you might need for study or research which we will need to borrow from other libraries for you. Most of our material is sourced from the British Library, but we can borrow from many academic libraries in the UK and abroad.
The guidelines for requesting electronic materials are as follows:
These items can be kept permanently
Some old or valuable items may be loaned as "Library use only", which means that the item would need to remain in the Library building for consultation
EThOS is the British Library's Electronic Thesis Online Service, providing access to UK doctoral theses online. Most UK theses are now being made available online via the EThOS service which allows you to:
Anyone who wishes to view a UK thesis must first register for the service. If the thesis is already digitised, you will be able to order then download it; if not, you can request it via EThOS and you will be advised by the British Library about its availability. For help in using EThOS see the British Library’s online guide
Please note Aston do not pay for theses to be digitised on EThOS
With PQDT Open, you can read the full text of open access dissertations and theses free of charge.
