JISC RESOURCE GUIDES UPDATED AND IMPROVED
The new JISC Resource Guides are published today,
providing an overview of the quality-assured information
about electronic resources and support services, all of
them selected by subject specialists.
After extensive consultation with community
representatives, including librarians, academics,
researchers and students, as well as publishers and
providers, the Resource Guides have been updated and
improved. Improvements in the new edition include:
* Attractive full-colour booklet format
* New resource categories reflecting the needs of
subject communities
* New and simpler definitions for accessing electronic
resources
* Full information on search tips, training and support
activities
Resources and services higlighted in the Resource Guides
are designed to support learning, teaching and research
at all levels of higher education. Each Guide is
compiled by a dedicated Resource Guide Adviser who
selects the key resources for the subject area and
presents them in both print and Web format.
In consultation with subject communities, Advisers offer
a programme of outreach activities in response to
subject needs, including hands-on workshops and
training events. They also play a crucial role in
soliciting community feedback, helping to ensure that
communication about the provision and use of resources
and support and advisory services remains two-way. The
seven subject areas are:
Arts and Humanities
Engineering, Mathematics and Computing
Geography and the Environment
Health and Life Sciences
Hospitality, Leisure, Sport and Tourism
Physical Sciences
Social Sciences
Resource Guide Advisers compile each Guide in
consultation with subject-based advisory groups
comprising librarians, academics and other relevant
parties. Resources considered for inclusion include
those from partner organisations, such as the Learning
and Teaching Support Network (LTSN) and the Research
Councils.
Resource Guides are currently being sent to key staff within
institutions. For further
