On 6/9/2006 JISC made the exceptionally welcome announcement that it has reached agreement with the Learning and Skills Councils (LSC) on the LSC’s contribution to the JISC budget. This seems to bring to a pragmatic end the hiatus caused by last year's sudden cut in LSC funding to JISC.
"The agreement means that the following will be available to those institutions funded by the LSC for the next three years, including Specialist Colleges:
- JANET connections;
- support from the Regional Support Centres;
- membership of the UK Access Management Federation;
- all JISC’s advisory services;
- delivery services at data centres;
- membership of the new JISC Collections content company;
- access to all current content under existing licensing agreements."
There is a comprehensive questions and answers page on the JISC web site.
