The University holds that a project report or thesis submitted
for a higher degree and retained in the Library should be
retained not only for record purposes but also, within copyright
privileges of the author, should be public property and
accessible for consultation at the discretion of the Librarian.
The University also recognises that there may be exceptional
circumstances requiring restrictions on copying or conditions
of use. Requests for restriction for a period of up to two
years must be made in writing to the Registrar. Requests
for a longer period of restriction may be considered in
exceptional circumstances if accompanied by a letter of
support from the Supervisor or Head of School. Such requests
must be submitted with the thesis.
You should be aware that Section 51(2) of the Copyright
Act 1968 provides as follows:
Where a manuscript or a copy, or a thesis or other similar
literary work that has not been published is kept in a
library of a University... the copyright in the thesis
or other work is not infringed by the making of a copy
of the thesis or other work by or on behalf of the librarian
of the library if the copy is supplied to a person who
satisfies the librarian, or a person acting on behalf
of the librarian, that he requires the copy for the purpose
of research or private study and that he will not use
it for any other purpose.
The University provides abstracts of doctoral theses for
publication in the monthly journal, Dissertation Abstracts
International .
