JISC Banding model

What is JISC Banding?

The JISC Banding Model is the basis for all subscription fees for the online resources in our Catalogue. All of our institutional members, that is Further and Higher Education institutions, Specialist Colleges and Research Councils in the UK, are ranked into one of ten JISC Bands. For further details on how the Banding Model works, please see our explanation page.

We have also developed Banding Models for our affiliate members who are not Further and Higher Education institutions, Specialist Colleges or Research Councils. For information about the banding metrics developed for affiliate members, please contact Lorraine Estelle.

  • Higher Education Institutions
