Deadline Wednesday 18th July
The JISC national e-books observatory project aims to license for 2 YEARS ONLY collections of e-books that are core texts for UK HE taught course students in the following subject areas:
• Engineering
• Medicine (excluding mental health and nursing
• Media Studies
• Business and Management
JISC will fund publishers to make available a selection of their core e-books to ALL HE institutions FREE for the duration of the project (2 years). We have received a number of proposals from publishers and aggregators and each proposal included a list of e-books, but we need your expertise to identify which e-books are core texts and which will best support your students. We need to know this so that we can license the best e-books and create a CORE COLLECTION in each subject area.
To take part in the consultation please:
1. Read the introduction at: http://www.jiscebooksproject.org/consultation/
2. Rank the e-books that are core texts for your taught course students in the 4 subject areas. Please follow the instructions provided at http://www.jiscebooksproject.org/?page_id=46
3. Feedback about platform functionality, standards compliance etc. This will inform the licensing negotiations. Submit your feedback on these questions using the online form at http://www.jiscebooksproject.org/?page_id=47
Please do take part in the consultation. If you have any questions please contact JISC Collections on ebooks@jisc.ac.uk
