SCONUL Content Forum
The publication of the Jisc Critical Review of Transitional Agreements was postponed until 7 March. However, Jisc were happy for the report to be shared with colleagues at the meeting of the Content Forum event, held on 2 February. The report has important implications for the library community and SCONUL brought the sector together to discuss these and to consider options for subscriptions. The meeting heard from the co-chairs of the Transitional Agreements Oversight Group, Niamh Tumelty, Director of LSE Library and Jeremy Upton, Director of Library and University Collections at the University of Edinburgh, as well as members of the SCONUL Content Strategy Group. The debate has helped shape priorities for the sector and inform Jisc’s approach to future negotiations.
