The JUBILEE Project

Funded from 1999, initially for three cycles under the JISC Monitoring and Evaluation Framework. The project sought to predict, monitor and characterise information seeking behaviour in relation to EIS, through a longitudinal discipline- based study in HE institutions. In cycle 2, a pilot study in FE had been undertaken, and this had developed into a two strand project in cycle 3. Both HE and FE studies will now continue into a fourth cycle with four strands: (1) Longitudinal study; (2) action research; (3) international focus; and (4) information behaviour.
