Implementing “request  a copy” button for etheses at Birmingham
 407 requests since Jan 2010
 1 per working day/8 per week
 147 option Bs (36%) and 260 (64%) option Cs
 Top three items make up 1/8th of requests
  with long tail
 110 unique titles requested (7% of ecopies)
 Often requested a few days after release
  suggesting google alerts
 (compares with one per week pre-mandate
  and pre EThOS)
 Fulfilling requests using “risk managed
  approach”
 Increase in BU theses available including older
  theses
 Increase in access points to BU theses
     Made available to Ethos for harvesting
     Exposed to repository and bibliographic search tools
      via OAI-PMH including index to theses and DART
   Dialogue with authors on copyright and data
    protection before requests are forwarded for
    action including instructions on how to deal with
    requests

 To add more etheses more quickly and more
  efficiently
 Time consuming to check each thesis for
  copyrighted/sensitive material to enable
  them to be deposited
 Keeping contact details/requests up to date
  esp when no response from authors
 Identifying older theses for digitisation

Editor's Notes

  • #2: Keen to improve access to theses. Theses notoriously difficult to get hold off.Handled 1 per working week from stock of 36,000.
  • #6: Would send 200 theses per annum via ILLs (figure in 2005) for the UK. 100 photocopy requests for overseas. Could not fill most requests as we sought permission from authors. We make an attempt to contact all authors. Now we take “risk managed approach” to covering ethos. We joined microfilm service from the BL in 2000. Store fetching : 2002/2003 we supplied 2179 theses to people coming in to consult theses.
  • #8: Top eight items make up 1/8th of requests with long tail
  • #9: 2007 18482008 18202009 17482010 17292011 1370Digitised by ethos (older theses proving requestors want newist research)2009 4532010 3142011 188
