Online PhD Theses. The British Library working with UK Universities have introduced a new service called EThOS that provides free access to online PhD theses produced at participating UK Higher Education institutions - http://ethos.bl.uk/HEIList.do The database contains the details of 250,000+ theses with the full text being added over time (and by request) for theses from participating institutions. Some theses are already available for download, but you may find that you need to request others that you are interested in. If you request a thesis, there is a delay while copyright permission is sought and the text is digitized. Registration to use the service is free.

Useful bibliography from photocollector Ken Jacobson
Citation Style: Chicago
This MA Programme relies upon Chicago as our preferred form of citation. When consulting resources on how to use Chicago in your papers, be sure to note that Chicago has a different format for the footnotes, or endnotes, than the bibliography.
