Training session held in PC Room 3 in the library, Wednesday 23rd March, 12-12.45pm
Postgraduate theses can often be difficult to trace, partly because many have not been formally published. This session will show ways of finding details of theses both from Britain and abroad by means of databases such as Dissertations and Theses, Index to Theses and ETHOS. Through ETHOS and other sources many more theses are now freely available for viewing online.

FAME is a database from Bureau van Dijk which allows the user access to financial and company information for companies in the UK and Ireland, large and small. Seven million companies are listed over the last 10 years, even companies which have ceased to exist. The user can simply retrieve a company report for a single company or search for companies within specific parameters, for example, list companies according to industry sector with over £X turnover in a particular geographical area. Results can be exported to Excel.
