Early days of JISC MediaHub

As part of its continuous development, JISC MediaHub has been refreshed. There’s a new set of images in the slideshow on the homepage and a facility to log user preferences for searching has been added to My MediaHub. The addition of the Advanced Search and Most Popular features were the other major August additions to the earlier Beta version. There are more improvements to come, which you can follow in the Development Roadmap in the Blog.

Basic access to JISC MediaHub is free and open, including, for NewsFilm Online subscribers, access to that content too.

Full access, to all the hosted as well as external collections, requires subscription to the JISC eCollections service. For those institutions who have not yet subscribed, details are available on the JISC Collections website.

The Education Image Gallery and Film & Sound Online services have now been retired; their content is available within JISC MediaHub, where their service pages are redirected. Deep links to individual records will still work and redirect to the same content via JISC MediaHub.

For service continuity, the z39.50 targets to those databases are still available for those institutions with ongoing access to the content.

The NewsFilm Online z-target is also still being offered, as is the user interface at www.nfo.ac.uk, although all NewsFilm Online content is also available through JISC MediaHub.

We are still keen to receive feedback on JISC MediaHub via the links within the interface or directly to us at edina@ed.ac.uk

Additionally, don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions you may have.
