Dear Colleagues
We have received over 60 bids from publishers in response to our call for digital archives and collections to be licensed in perpetuity (https://www.jisc-collections.ac.uk/News/callforcontent/).
The bids include ebooks, journals and multimedia. We are still seeking volunteers to help us evaluate the bids and decide which ones should be recommended for purchase by JISC Collections on behalf of all UK HE and FE.
Now that we have seen the bids, we are looking for markers in the following subject areas:
- agriculture and applied life science
- computing
- energy
- engineering (mechanical, civil, electrical) - we have a lot of engineering related bids.
- history (UK 19th- and 20th centuries)
- humanities
- life sciences
- medicine
- physics and chemistry
- politics
- social science
- theology
You would be expected to devote around a couple of hours to evaluating the proposals, followed by a conference call which may last a further hour. No travel is necessary.
The marking will be carried out during the coming three weeks. If you are interested or you know academics that would be able to help please email me for full details.
Kind Regards
Caren Milloy [[log in to unmask]]
