About JISC Collections

JISC Collections is a membership organisation, established by the UK Higher and Further Education funding councils, to support the procurement of digital content for education, research and learning in the UK.We are uniquely placed to provide our members with: 

• expertise in negotiating and procurement, within the scholarly communications sector, to save librarians time and money
• high-quality e-resource collections selected for academic research, teaching and learning
• best pricing and licensing, using our collective influence to obtain value for money
• environmental scanning and research into innovative resources, licensing models and evaluation tools
• shared knowledge about e-resource acquisition and research.

Now, more than ever, librarians must show value for money. We provide annual efficiency gains to our members of approximately £50 million, and enable scholars and learners to use each resource to its fullest potential. The Digital Library Licensing Service is an extension of JISC Collections’ negotiation and licensing work into the English public library sector.More information can be found on the JISC Collections website.
