Can my Institution make a thesis supplied by EThOS available from the Library?
No, you may not. In order to ensure that author rights are protected, all users downloading theses from EThOS must agree to the terms and conditions displayed. These specify only non-commercial, personal use. If you download a thesis and supply it to someone else, you break the terms and conditions of supply you agreed to on ordering the thesis. EThOS is available from any desktop, is very easy to use and gives full information at each stage, so please show your users the system and instruct them how to get the thesis they need. There is no limit on the number of individual readers who can use the online copy, each having accepted the Terms and Conditions. The terms of supply also apply to printed copies. If, in spite of easy online availability, you particularly want to add a printed copy to your library stock, you would need to seek the permission of the copyright holder (usually the author) to hold and lend a copy.
