ROAR has a new look...

…and is now easier to use. ROAR (Research Open Access Repository) – if you weren’t already aware – is the University of East London’s institutional repository of open access publications, and is maintained by the library. The new interface now makes it much easier to browse – simply choose ‘Browse by Year’, ‘Browse by School’ or ‘Browse by Author’ from the top of the screen – and also has a permanent search box in the top right.
As well as being home to the research output of academic staff, ROAR also plays host to a growing collection of doctoral-level theses. To view this collection, choose to 'Browse by School', then click on 'Electronic Theses and Dissertations', which appears above the list of Schools.
For more information about ROAR, contact the repository manager, whose details appear in the ‘About’ section.
