IESR (original) (raw)

The JISC Information Environment Service Registry (IESR) provides a registry of all "significant research collections in the UK" and supports "teaching, learning and research"[1]. It is funded by the Jisc under its Shared Infrastructure Services programme. The IESR aims to provide a “Yellow Pages for the academic internet” accessible through web and machine interfaces. It provides a reliable source of information that other applications, such as portals, can freely access through machine-to-machine protocols, in order to help their end users discover resources of assistance to them.
