Dear All,
I wonder if you could help me. Here at Loughborough we are still looking into the EThOS service which as I understand it is going to replace the existing British Library thesis service. I believe that as a Library we need to sign up to the EThOS service and we have a choice of 4 different participation options. The options are;
We can pay a figure of between £8,000 to £2,000 up front (amount is based on JISC banding)
We can pay retrospectively for our theses to be digitised, so we pay £35 for every request we receive for one of our theses
We can refuse to pay and the first person to request the thesis has to pay the £35 digitisation cost
We can provide a link to the thesis that we already hold electronically in a institutional repositary
Can I ask if other University Libraries have signed up to EThOS yet and what participation model you have opted for.
Thank you for any information you can provide.
Regards
Jane
