I am a librarian and I wish to pay for digitisation of a thesis for one of my users. How do I do it?
The majority of institutions participating in EThOS will cover the cost of digitisation of their own theses, so the occasions where you will have to pay for digitisation will be rare. If, however, you come across this situation, follow this process: 1) Log on to the system. 2) Order the thesis under your own login. 3) You will be informed some days later when the thesis is available for download from the system. Unless you want a copy for your own purposes, DO NOT DOWNLOAD THE THESIS! 4) Inform your user that the thesis is available on EThOS. The email you receive will include useful information to help your user identify the thesis on the system. 5) The user can log on to the system and download the thesis for him/herself. By following this procedure, you pay for digitisation of the thesis and your user agrees to the terms and conditions of supply of the thesis, so all legal requirements are met.
