Subject: Announcement from the JISC
Dear Colleagues
Announcement from the JISC (the following can also be found on the DNER web
site at: http://www.jisc.ac.uk/dner/news)
The JISC has just published three new documents. These are the Collections
Development Policy, the draft 3-year Collection Strategy and the Final
Report from the JCEI (JISC Committee for Electronic Information) Charging
Working Group
Collections Development Policy
This document is the Collections Development Policy for the Distributed
National Electronic Resource (DNER) and covers four key stages in the
lifecycle of DNER collections: identification of potential resources, their
selection as collections, evaluation of the impact of collections, and
resource de-selection or renewal. This policy is a working document that
will change over the next three years as collecting practices for the DNER
develop and as more volatile selection criteria (e.g. agreed standards)
change. The full document is available at:
http://www.jisc.ac.uk/dner/collections/coldev_policy.htm
Collection Strategy
The JISC will continue to procure and make available on a subscription
basis a collection of high quality electronic resources of relevance to
learning, teaching, and research in higher and further education. In
addition the JISC will expand its activities to create high quality
electronic resources through digitisation and development of discovery
tools for important collections residing in institutions. The full document
can be read at: http://www.jisc.ac.uk/dner/collections/strategy.htm
Charging Policy
This is the final report from the Charging Working Group established by
JISC's Committee for Electronic Information (JCEI), to review the current
arrangements for dataset charging and to make recommendations on a revised
charging model, to better suit the needs of small institutions and FE
Colleges. The full document is available at:
http://www.jisc.ac.uk/pub01/charging.html
