Academic research receives a boost this week as the JISC-led Strategic Content Alliance announces the Wellcome Library joins its board.
The Wellcome Library is one of the world’s major resources for the study of medical history and provides access to a growing collection of contemporary biomedical information resources relating to consumer health, popular science, biomedical ethics and the public understanding of science.
Stuart Dempster, project director of the JISC-led Strategic Content Alliance says: “The expertise and knowledge from the Wellcome Library will strengthen our work in bringing publicly funded content online. The IPR issues around the sensitive nature of scientific and medical images which the Wellcome Library manages will boost our ability to provide best practice advice and guidance for UK colleges and universities.”
