E-Books
The E-Books task and finish group completed its work in February 2012. This comprised the M25/MLAG e-books survey of summer 2011, its analysis and its recommendation for a consortial patron driven approach and preparation of a successful bid submitted to JISC in March 2012. The E-BASS25 (Electronic Books Acquisition as a Shared Service in the M25) project, funded by Jisc, has delivered its objectives. See the wide range of outputs at: http://ebooksguidance.jiscinvolve.org. The Consortium is currently taking forward the recommendations.
