> Introduction
>
> The Charging Working Group of the JISC's Committee for Electronic
> Information (JCEI) is holding a consultation event with the HE and FE
> community to introduce the principles of a proposed new charging framework
> for JISC datasets and other resources.
>
> The consultation will be in the form of a half-day event on the morning of
> Friday 18th May 2001 at RUSI, Whitehall, London, SW1A 2ET. Attendance
> will be limited and is on a first come, first served basis. No charge
> will be made for attendance at this event although participants will need
> to cover their travel expenses. The event is aimed at Heads of Library
> and Learning Resource Centres or equivalents and those that make
> institutional purchasing decisions about electronic resources for users.
>
> Background
>
> In Spring 2000, the JISC's Committee for Electronic Information (JCEI)
> established a Charging Working Group to review the current arrangements
> for dataset charging and to make recommendations for a new charging
> framework, appropriate to meet the needs of both HE and FE institutions.
>
> The terms of reference for the Charging Working Group were to review the
> current arrangements for dataset charging, to consider other charging
> models and/or enhancements to the existing charging model, particularly
> taking into account low volume usage and the needs of FE Colleges, and to
> make recommendations to JCEI.
>
> A paper outlining three proposed models will be made available on the JISC
> website in early May. These models will form the basis of the discussion
> at the event and attendees are encouraged to read the paper prior to the
> day.
>
> The Charging Consultation Event is an opportunity for the proposed new
> framework to be introduced to the HE and FE community and for
> institutional representatives to discuss the principles with
> representatives of the Charging Working Group and JCEI.
>
> Registration for the event is via the JISC website only. To register for
> this event and to view the draft programme, please go to:
>
> http://www.jisc.ac.uk/events/01/charge_consult.html
>
> Participants will receive further information about the event in early
> May, and will be notified via email when the proposed models are available
> on the JISC website.
>
> Those unable to attend the event who wish to comment on the proposed
> models should email views to [log in to unmask] in the first two weeks
> of May.
