JISC

The DNER team no longer exists and has been taken forward as part of the Information Environment. These pages are retained for historical interest.

A vision of online provision for the educational community, in which high-quality resources would be accessible from any location, easily navigated and cross-searchable by subject or data type, inspired the original Distributed National Electronic Resource (DNER) plans.

Although the establishing of a distributed national electronic resource is still a key part of the JISC 5-year strategy, there were, however, new factors that suggested it was time to move beyond 'the DNER' and for JISC to find more relevant ways to communicate its activities and its underlying objectives. The DNER was therefore 'retired' in name during 2002. However, many of the features and activities of, and from, the DNER are being taken forward as part of the Information Environment initiative.
