How are theses added to LSE Theses Online?
We currently gain theses to add to the service in a number of ways: • By individual authors sending them to us. We then check with LSE’s Research Degrees Unit that the thesis has been accepted, then catalogue and add it to the service. • As a result of digitisation work for theses done by the Library. An example of this is LSE’s History of Thought project, which has digitised selected important LSE theses. When completed, these theses will be archived and made available in LSE Theses Online. • By monitoring the British Library’s EThOS service, which digitises theses on demand. The LSE Theses Online team will contact authors whose thesis has been digitised in this way, and ask them for permission to archive it in LSE Theses Online All theses are in the repository as a result of receiving permission from the thesis’ author to do so.
