UCC hoping to digitise doctoral research

University College Cork Library is embarking on a project to bring the riches of UCC doctoral research to a wider audience by digitising theses from its collection so that they will be available to everybody online.

But first, UCC needs to track the 2,000 plus students who have completed their PhD since 1939 and get their permission to have their work digitised.

As copyright for UCC theses remains with the author, UCC is calling on PhD graduates to nominate their thesis and grant permission for their work to be scanned and made freely available through CORA http://cora.ucc.ie, the online archive of UCC’s research publications.
