The publication of the Jisc Critical Review of Transitional Agreements has been postponed until 7 March. However, Jisc has agreed that we can share the report with colleagues at the meeting of the Content Forum event on 2 February. The report will have important implications for the library community and SCONUL is bringing the sector together to discuss these and to consider options for subscriptions. The meeting will hear 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 will help shape priorities for the sector and inform Jisc’s approach to future negotiations.
The Forum is open to heads of service and their senior leadership teams from member institutions only. E-mail sconul@sconul.ac.uk for the registration details.
