JISC inspires UK colleges and universities in the innovative use of digital technologies. JISC
invests heavily in research and development, offering over 18 million
users access to quality assured resources through their secure network.
They provide expert advice, help to save money through national content
license agreements and work with colleges and universities to realise
the potential of their existing technologies. Everything JISC does has one aim - to maintain the UK's position as a global leader in education. JISC will be participating in the Learning Registry project by setting up an experimental node in the UK with a focus on content from the higher education and cultural sectors. Utilising the expertise and content available to JISC, the project will explore contributing data and analysing it. JISC hopes to collaborate with the Learning Registry in exploring the infrastructure considerations and to help specify and support useful applications.
