Dear Colleagues,

 

I am writing to invite you to the second Jisc Monitor Development workshop to involve users in the work being undertaken through the Jisc Monitor project.

 

Monitor continues as a one-year project, which started in May 2014, to explore how a Jisc managed shared service might support institutions in meeting HEFCE Open Access policy. The project is continuing to scope proof of concept prototypes to respond to specific use cases, and these will be used to assess the feasibility of, and priorities for, developing a service. In this event, our second areas of focus will be on the challenges of monitoring spend for Open Access and Standards Development to enable efficient data exchange.

 

As with the first workshop, the purpose of this second workshop is to continue to inform the project’s work by going further in capturing institutional requirements, identifying common ground and exploring variances in practice. In that way, it is a on-going process of user engagement for the project, with optional opportunities for attendees to attend subsequent online reviews to test and provide feedback on aspects of the project’s outputs as they are in development later in October.

 

The workshop will again be at the Jisc Brettenham House meeting rooms in London on Friday, 19 September 2014 from 10am to 4pm.
