JISC MediaHub subscribers will be interested in new subscription developments recently announced by JISC Collections. From 1 Aug 2013 JISC MediaHub will be free to FE subscribing institutions.

Furthermore, HE subscribers to JISC eCollections, of which JISC MediaHub is a part, now have three subscription options:

• JISC eCollections. This full subscription gives full access to JISC Historic Books, JISC Journal Archives and JISC MediaHub. Details of the pricing, which includes a built-in discount for taking all three resources.
• JISC eCollections (MediaHub and Journals Only). This option is a subscription to JISC MediaHub and JISC Journal Archives ONLY (you will not get JISC Historic Books). Details of the pricing.
• JISC eCollections (Books and Journals Only). This option is a subscription to JISC Historic Books and JISC Journal Archives ONLY (you will not get JISC MediaHub). Details of the pricing.

The JISC MediaHub service has also recently been enhanced. The classification of collection types has been simplified; time/date and people/organisations have been added to the Advanced Search, and commenting, bookmarking and tagging have joined the My MediaHub functions.

We have recently also included the Fitzwilliam Museum (Cambridge) collection of 1,000 still images, which was part of the bundle of collections licensed under JISC Collections’ Digital Images for Education project, and the Bioscience ImageBank collection, as requested by the former HE Academy Centre for Bioscience at Leeds University.
