Apologies for cross-posting
JISC Legal has upgraded their website and want to highlight some of the
changes and features which make accessing their guidance more
straightforward, helping you to avoid legal barriers to the development and
use of ICT in colleges and universities.
They have produced a short homemade video to point out some of the new
features which aim to make your life easier in getting quickly and
intuitively to the information you need. It can be accessed on YouTube here
- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFobiNAe7aM.
One of the important changes is from static pages to dynamic content
generated from categorised items to create web pages which are specific to
‘Roles’, ‘Themes’ and ‘Legal Areas’. As well as practical, relevant text
guidance, you’ll also find a range of audio-visual resources.
For example
• If you are a senior manager you are able to select content based on
the Role that is appropriate to you. For example, the IT Law for FE and HE
Senior Managers publication might serve as an introduction to relevant issues.
• If you are looking for guidance on Web 2.0, you can choose that
Theme from the drop down menu. Useful resources might include the recent
JISC Legal webcast on Web 2.0 and the Law for e-Tutors
• If you want information on a current JISC Legal project, such as
Open Education Resources, then this content is collected and displayed.
At their end, editing is fast and flexible, meaning they can produce and
update material more easily. Categorising content allows better targeting
of their materials, and flags up opportunities for reuse of valuable guidance.
For the user the content which is relevant to them is now on hand just by
choosing their role or them they are interested in. For those needing a
quick, relevant guide to an area of law, categorisation by Legal Area
remains part of the site.

Legal and compliance issues have an effect on many areas within institutions
and JISC Legal has guidance and support information designed to ensure that
they do not become barriers to the effective use of ICT.
