Jisc Monitor is a one-year project, which started in May 2014, to explore how a Jisc managed shared service might support institutions in meeting HEFCE Open Access policy. The project is currently scoping proof of concept prototypes to respond to specific use cases, and these will be used to assess the feasibility of, and priorities for, developing a service. Our second areas of focus will be on the challenges of monitoring total spend for Open Access and Standards Development to enable efficient data exchange.

The purpose of the second workshop is again to inform the project’s work by going further in capturing institutional requirements, identifying common ground and exploring variances in practice. We intend this to be an integral part of the continuing process of user engagement in the project, with optional opportunities for attendees again to attend subsequent online reviews to test and provide feedback on aspects of the project’s outputs as they are in development.
