> Linking Digital Libraries with Virtual Learning Environments in HE
>
> The Higher Education Funding Councils through the Joint Information
> Systems Committee (JISC) intend to fund a number of projects to
> explore the linking
> of local digital libraries resources to virtual learning
> environments (VLE)
> within Higher Education (HE).
>
> This work will build on existing JISC work particularly the DNER
> Learning and Teaching Programme (
> <http://www.jisc.ac.uk/dner/development/programmes/learnteach.html>
> http://www.jisc.ac.uk/dner/development/programmes/learnteach.html) and
> Managed Learning Environment Programmes ( <http://www.jisc.ac.uk/mle/>
> http://www.jisc.ac.uk/mle/).
>
> Projects will be sought which will:
>
> * explore the issues of linking VLEs with local institutional
> digital library resources and services;
>
> * implement curriculum focussed pilots, based upon units of
> learning, linking VLEs to digital library systems;
>
> * provide models and guidelines for other institutions about
> the cultural and organisational issues related to joining up these
> systems in an institution.
>
> The call will be open to institutions in Higher Education only as the
> funding is provided to HE through the Government's Comprehensive
> Spending Review. Projects will be encouraged to work in partnership
> with suppliers of VLEs and digital library systems.
>
> A circular will be despatched to HE Institutions on Tuesday 2nd July
> with a deadline for submissions of 12 noon on Tuesday 20th August
> 2002. Hard copies
> of the circular will be sent to Heads of Institutions copied to
> Directors of
> Information Services. An announcement about the circular will be posted on
> <mailto:[log in to unmask]>
> [log in to unmask] . A copy
> of the circular will be available on JISC's website from early July at
