This site has been set up for the 'Maximising Online Resource Effectiveness' workshops which were originally organised by JISC Strategic Content Alliance (SCA) and Netskills in 2010.

After the 2010 workshops, several documents were prepared: a guide that presented a condensed version of the presentations and materials used within the workshops; a report that described and showed evidence on how attendees were able to make use of the knowledge they received at the workshops; and a succinct checklist of items raised in the workshops as an easy reminder of possible action points for attendees and others.

• A guide to real value from the internet (March 2011, 1.1Mb)
• Reports from the field (March 2011, 4.7Mb)
• A checklist for value from the internet (April 2011, 605Kb)

The 2010 workshops were delivered on:

• Thursday 8 - Friday 9 April at the JISC Meeting rooms in Brettenham House, London
• Wednesday 2 - Thursday 3 June at the Netskills Training Suite, Herschel Building, Newcastle University
• Thursday 17 - Friday 18 June at the JISC Meeting rooms in Brettenham House, London
• Tuesday 14 - Wednesday 15 September in Belfast at The Mount Conference Centre
• Thursday 7 - Friday 8 October at the Millennium Hotel in Glasgow
• Tuesday 12 - Wednesday 13 October at the JISC Meeting rooms in Brettenham House, London
• Thursday 28 - Friday 29 October at the Manchester Conference Centre
• Tuesday 16 - Wednesday 17 November at the JISC Meeting rooms in Brettenham House, London

Previous attendees were interviewed during the second day of the workshop. The transcript of a selection of the video interviews is available.

We have compiled a visual report on the locations of the home organisations of all attendees at all the SCA MORE workshops during 2009 and 2010.

The aim of the SCA is to build a common information environment where users of publicly funded e-content can gain best value from the investment that has been made by reducing the barriers that currently inhibit access, use and re-use of online content.

Netskills is a training and staff development service with 14 dedicated and expert staff based at Newcastle University. It was set up in 1995 and provides training across the UK. Netskills is partly funded by the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC).
