The Office of Scholarly Communication is pleased to able to
announce that from late November we will be running a pilot
for the electronic submission of PhD theses for the academic
year 2016/17. In cooperation with several departments from
across the University we will be requesting that PhD students
in these departments who are submitting their thesis this year
also upload a copy to Apollo. Our external developers are
currently putting the final touches to the upload form which
will make the whole process smooth and straightforward.
Authors will be encouraged to make their theses available Open
Access though this is not mandatory. More information can be
found at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"

<br>
</font> <font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><br>
In order to release more of our older theses the Office of
Scholarly Communication has entered into an agreement with the
British Library to make a selection of 1,4000 theses the BL
has on microfilm available in digital form. We have selected
the titles and the digitisation is occurring now. We hope to
have these uploaded into the repository towards the end of the
year.<br class="">
