Hi Nicola,
I don’t really want to pre-empt what JISC might think about this area. But I mention it because I think it is a really important area – how researchers, academics, students, etc keep up-to-date with various kinds of information, and what JISC considers to be it’s strategy for current awareness. It seems to me that current awareness has been rather neglected by JISC in terms of long/medium term development.
Scholarly publishing is a $5 billion/year industry, and the latest articles are the ‘cream’ on this publishing ‘cake’.
But there’s also many other types of current awareness, of course.
