Mea culpa.
The JIBS User Group is one of the major means of feedback for end-users
of the UK's networked resources. It encompasses users and librarians in
both the higher education (HE) and further education (FE) sector.
JIBS originated as the user group for 'JIsc (assisted) Bibliographic
dataserviceS' but now sees its remit as extending beyond bibliographic
material to all electronic content of interest to HE and FE institutions
available either via JISC's Information Environment (IE), or delivered
independently by other sources.

The User Group is independent of JISC [Joint Information Systems
Committee], and its principal aims are:
to stimulate and maintain interest in online services of interest to HE
and FE either via the JISC and the IE, or from other independent sources
to focus especially on matters of content
to provide an effective and independent forum for discussion and
information exchange between the users of such services (both FE and HE)
to bring matters of concern to the attention of the data suppliers and
the data service providers
to influence collectively the development of JISC-supported online
products and services

What are JIBS? I was always taught it was poor form to use acronyms
without parenthetical expansions.
