Library support
We provide libraries with centrally-maintained services to save you time and money across the information resources management lifecycle.
Negotiating on your behalf
Jisc Collections negotiates with publishers at a national level to procure and license affordable digital content for the UK education and research community.
Working with you
Our library services advisory group helps to steer our work and ensures we provide effective library management and bibliographic data services.
Find out more about the group's latest activities, as well as service updates, on our our library services blog.
Transforming services
We're constantly developing and improving our library services. This work has seen the development of our library hub services, which offer significantly-expanded scope and coverage in a more streamlined and efficient bibliographic database.
