** JISC consultation on the Cochrane Library
The JISC wishes to consult on access to the Cochrane Library for UK
higher and further education from August 2002. The Cochrane Library is
a unique collection of databases providing reliable information to
guide effective healthcare decisions. Further information on the
content can be found at:

The JISC wishes to receive feedback on the tiered pricing, given below,
in order to proceed with a new agreement to replace the current
Cochrane Library agreement with the UK academic community, which
expires on 31 July 2002. Please send a response to this consultation -
stating YES (your institution is interested), NO (your institution is
not interested) or MAYBE (your institution may be interested depending
on budgetary and other factors) - to Dickon Langdon <[log in to unmask]>.
Additional comments may be sent to Alison McNab
