30 July 2014 Amanda Darley, Head of Operations and Engagement
After much discussion about this topic on the BUFDG discussion boards, and in relation to the session at the Tax Conference and presentations given at the FD regional meetings in June, Amanda met with Mark Wright of Jisc on 29th July to discuss aspects of the Jisc CSG and to get some clarity in some practical areas. A summary of the various pieces of information is available on the BUFDG website.
In other JISC news, The Wellcome Library and Jisc have announced that the 19th-century book collections of nine partner institutions will be digitised and added to the UK Medical Heritage Library (UK MHL), an online resource for the study of the history of medicine and related sciences. The six university libraries involved in the partnership are those of University College London, University of Leeds, University of Glasgow, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, Kings College London and University of Bristol. Approximately 15 million pages of printed books and pamphlets from all ten partners will be digitised over a period of two years and will be made freely available to researchers and the public under an open licence.
