The JISC's Information Environment offers services for universities to maximize online resource value, tailored for learning, teaching, and research. The IESR provides a machine-readable catalog of high-quality resources, enabling diverse digital delivery. The pilot program involves UKOLN, MIMAS, and the University of Liverpool, offering detailed descriptions of collections and services. Accessible information will streamline portals and brokers connectivity. Current activities include user requirements surveys and stakeholder meetings.

JISC Information environment • The JISC’s Information Environment will provide a range of services, tools and mechanisms for colleges and universities to exploit fully the value of online resources and services. • It will enable presentation, delivery and use of online resources in ways tailored to support individual and institutional requirements in learning, teaching and research.
JISC Shared Services • To enable portals and other services to deliver diverse digital resources, machine-readable information about services, content, rights and users is required to act as the “glue” between portals and the content itself.
IE Service Registry • a machine-readable catalogue of the high-quality resources that form the Information Environment. • The Service Registry will contain descriptive information about electronic resources, but will also hold technical details about how machines may access them
IESR Pilot • 14 month Pilot • 3 centres, UKOLN, MIMAS and University of Liverpool • A subset of JISC services will provide descriptions for the pilot
IESR Descriptions • Based on the RSLP Schema • Consist of information about collections and the services offering access to them
Access • IESR will store detailed descriptions of collections and services • These descriptions will be available to portals, brokers etc through the IESR
IESR and the Resource Guides • Ideally theJISC website should get information about its services from the IESR • Duplication and maintenance of descriptions should be avoided • The same is true for the Resource Discovery Network (RDN)
Current Activities • User Requirements survey • Project meeting June 11th • Stakeholder Meeting in Birmingham, 26th June
