The Strategic Content Alliance is a three year JISC-funded initiative committed to delivering a co-ordinated framework of principles and best practice for the provision of online e-content for UK citizens.
Its aim is to build a common information environment where users of publicly funded e-content can gain best value from the investment that has been made by reducing the barriers that currently inhibit access, use and re-use of e-content.
You can find out more about the Strategic Content Alliance on the About page and on the wiki. On this blog you’ll find the latest information about - and can comment on - Strategic Content Alliance activities. We’ll also be blogging live from the e-Content Policy and Strategy Symposium in Cardiff on July 18.
