Following a successful preview period, JISC have announced the first release of the JISC MediaHub interface to a wider audience at http://jiscmediahub.ac.uk. It is available via the UK Access Management Federation or direct IP.

Access to the resource has been enabled for all institutions subscribing to Education Image Gallery, Film & Sound Online or NewsFilm Online. In addition, access to each of those individual services continues in parallel via their respective login pages until August.

Please submit comments via the online survey available via the Feedback link on the homepage or the Contact Us link at the bottom of each page.

Content
Licensing arrangements with some collection-owners are still to be concluded for a few collections both inside and outside JISC MediaHub. These collections will become available individually as soon as the licensing for each collection is agreed.

Features
Service development will continue incrementally until availability of the full service this August. JISC will provide progress updates over the coming months via the blog, http://mediahub.blogs.edina.ac.uk/.

Subscription
This August JISC Mediahub will become part of the new JISC eCollections service, managed by JISC Collections in partnership with EDINA and Mimas, that will consist of three new content platforms (one of which is JISC MediaHub). There will be a service fee to cover all three content platforms, the details of which are available from JISC Collections, www.jisc-collections.ac.uk/jiscecollections.
