Call for Consultant: Models to Enable Students Studying in Further Education to Procure e-Books to Support Education

JISC Collections invites proposals for a review of the business models that will enable further education students to pay for the e-books needed to support their studies.  The models may involve purchase of e-books by further education institutions with a cost recovery model similar to library photocopying charges or further education institutions offering discounts to students who purchase electronic books in agreement with publishers.

The work should commence in August/September 2009 and complete by January 2010

Funding of up to £28,000 is available including VAT and travel and subsistence.

The deadline for proposals is 12.00 noon BST on Friday 15th June 2009.
