***PLEASE CIRCULATE WIDELY AMONGST COLLEAGUES IN THE FE COMMUNITY***
The JISC DNER is very pleased to announce that it is extending its agreement
with Chadwyck Healey for KNOWUK and is adding KNOWEurope, also from Chadwyck
Healey, to its portfolio of collections for FE.
KnowUK is a searchable library on the World Wide Web of some of the most
heavily-used and authoritative reference materials on all aspects of life in
the United Kingdom, providing key information on the people, institutions
and organisations which influence, govern and make up the United Kingdom.
KnowEurope is a searchable library on the World Wide Web of primary and
secondary information including statistics on all aspects of the EU and
Europe, providing key description, analysis, summaries and commentary.
The JISC has been able to subsidise the cost of these products for FE
colleges. There is a further discount for colleges subscribing to both
products.
Prices are as follows:
Either KNOWUK or KNOWEUROPE
Year 1 - £50 + VAT
Year 2 - £150 + VAT
Year 3 - £300 + VAT
BOTH SUBSCRIPTIONS
Year 1 - £75 + VAT
Year 2 - £200 + VAT
Year 3 - £500 + VAT
Please note that colleges must commit to subscribing to the end of year 3.
Many sites have had free access to KnowUK for the last year. If your site
has not benefitted from this, but would like a 30-day free trial, please
email [log in to unmask]
Since the KnowEurope service is new, there will be a free trial period for
this between now and the end of August. To access this, please return the
licence in the normal way. If you choose not to continue with access to
KnowEurope after 31/8/01, please let the JISC know formally in writing by
that time.
The Product Overview and Licence forms are now available on the JISC
website.
Please see
http://www.jisc.ac.uk/dner/collections/knowuk.html for full details,
contacts for help and to download licence forms.
I do hope you can take advantage of this offer.
Susan Eales.
