    Brief

    Jisc Services Limited has negotiated a contract with Oxford University Press (OUP) to provide Jisc member institutions with discounted access to OUP Online Products. This opportunity covers both Higher Education (HE) and Further Education (FE) institutions, expanding on the previous HE-only offering. The subscription bundle includes comprehensive access to OUP's premium digital resources such as the Oxford English Dictionary, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford Handbooks Online, and other curated datasets and reference works. This contract is exclusively available to Jisc member organizations for institutional use and is not available for Jisc's own operational purposes. Institutions benefit from preferential pricing compared to direct OUP subscriptions.
