E-Theses Online Service (EThOS) is a bibliographic database and union catalogue of electronic theses provided by the British Library, the National Library of the United Kingdom.[1][2][3][4] As of February 2022 EThOS provided access to over 500,000 doctoral theses awarded by over 140 UK higher education institutions,[5] with around 3,000 new thesis records added every month[6][7][8][9][10] until the British Library cyberattack forced the service to be temporarily taken offline.[11]
