    Brief

    Jisc Services Limited is contracting with Portico, part of ITHAKA, to provide Jisc member institutions with discounted access to Portico eBooks and eJournals. Portico operates as a permanent digital archive, ensuring content remains accessible to participating libraries even if publishers discontinue access or original sources become unavailable. This agreement is exclusively for Jisc member institutions and covers the period 2026-2029. Suppliers should note this is a member benefit service, not for Jisc's direct organizational use.
