Keeping Your Thesis Legal

This booklet accompanies workshops presented by Loughborough University Library Service focussed on theses and rights risk management but can also be used as a standalone copyright support booklet. It gives you more information on the copyright implications of making your thesis available on the web, as required by the University. Its focus is primarily on digital theses (e-theses) rather than examination versions. Differences between e-theses and examination copies will be highlighted.
