Working alongside JISC, the UK sponsoring organisations of the Strategic Content Alliance are:

  • the British Library
  • the BBC
  • British Education Communications and Technologies Agency (BECTA)
  • the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council (MLA)
  • the NHS National Library for Health (NLH)

As well as a commitment to achieving a higher level of co-ordination of content provision activities the current sponsoring organisations share the following characteristics:

• They provide a major set of e-content services to their constituency of users

• They are in command of significant resources and can directly influence the quality and direction of content services in their area

• They share common public purposes, especially with regard to culture, education, research and learning.

The Strategic Content Alliance convenes a Board of its sponsors on a quarterly basis which plans, directs and advises on future activity and investment. Terms of Reference of the Board are available from Sarah Fahmy (sarah.fahmy@jisc.ac.uk)
