It invites HE institutions or consortia to submit full proposals to develop and contribute collection level content to the Archives Hub service. Th Archives Hub aims to allow users, ranging from the novice to the experienced researcher, networked access to quality records of all archival collections in the UK HE sector. Initially, records will be collection level, however the longer term vision is to include access to multi-level descriptions, full text and digitised items where appropriate. The Service is available to higher and further education institutions, but only HE archival collections are sought for inclusion in the Hub at this stage. The date for receipt of proposals is Wednesday 13th December 2000. It is envisaged that all bidders will be informed of their success or otherwise by Friday 26th January 2001. Institutions that do not hold collections suitable for the inclusion in the Archives Hub are asked to supply an email statement by 13th December to the address: [log in to unmask] A copy of the Circular is available at http://www.jisc.ac.uk/pub00/c08_00.html --- End Forwarded Message --- Rachel Bruce [log in to unmask] T: 020 7848 2670/01280 813080 F:020 7848 2939 Programme Manager/ HE Archive Hub Co-ordinator JISC DNER Office, C/o The Library Office Kings College London Strand WC2R 2LS %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
