Daniel<div>Ethos works in the main by the host institution paying a subscription.  Requests for digitization of theses are then defrayed from this sum, currently at a max of £42.  </div><div>Ethos has been very successful and member institutions frequently  &#39;run out&#39; of money before the end of the subscription year.  This may have happened in the case of the institutions who have the material you requested.  In other words they may not have withdrawn and may renew subs next year.</div>
<div>Also, as I understand you or your affiliated institution can also pay for the digitization.</div><div>Peter</div><div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 9 December 2010 14:51, Daniel Harms <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:[log in to unmask]"><a href="/cgi-bin/wa-jisc.exe?LOGON=A3%3Dind1012%26L%3DACADEMIC-STUDY-MAGIC%26E%3Dquoted-printable%26P%3D583673%26B%3D--0015175cb7fa50310404970caf84%26T%3Dtext%252Fhtml%3B%2520charset%3DISO-8859-1%26pending%3D" target="_parent" >[log in to unmask]</a></a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">I just received a notification from the British Library&#39;s EThOS thesis digitization effort that two of my requests could not be fulfilled because institutions had withdrawn from the program.  Does anyone have any more insight into this?<br>
