For information about NESLI, please see http://www.nesli.ac.uk/ 2. Subscription Collection for Recent Dataset Agreements We are finalising arrangements with Swets Blackwells to invoice and collect subscriptions before the end of July for sites licensing AMICO, the Cochrane Library, Gale Infotrac OneFile and Custom Newspapers, KnowUK/KnowEurope, LION, Ordnance Survey, SCRAN, and British Standards Index Online collections. Further information will be circulated shortly. 3. The Longer Term Way Forward A strategic steering group continues to scope a new way forward for DNER negotiation/subscription activities. This panel is taking into account an array of complicated legal and financial issues, and will report to the community when its deliberations are concluded. There will clearly be a further tendering process for negotiation/subscription activities in due course. It is not anticipated that any further contract extensions for services will take place without a full tendering process. We are also very pleased to announce that Alison McNab, currently in the Library at Loughborough University, will be joining the JISC as a Collections Manager from July. Alison will be responsible for taking a stragic lead on journals in the DNER. 4. Other Negotiations The DNER team will continue to negotiate for strategic datasets, ebooks, image collections, etc. 5. Further announcements Additional information will be circulated to the community be email in due course, and will also appear online at: http://www.jisc.ac.uk/dner/collections/additions.html *********************************** Dr. Alicia Wise Assistant DNER Director Joint Information Systems Committee 138-142 Strand London WC2R 1HH (020) 7848 2556 office (020) 7848 2939 fax [log in to unmask] *********************************** --- End Forwarded Message --- ---------------------- Susan M Eales Collections Manager - FE Learning Materials JISC DNER Strand Bridge House 138-142 The Strand LONDON.
