About Us
Jorum is a JISC-funded Service in Development in UK Further and Higher Education, to collect and share learning and teaching materials, allowing their reuse and repurposing. This free online repository service forms a key part of the JISC Information Environment, and is intended to become part of the wider landscape of repositories being developed institutionally, locally, regionally or across subject areas. We use intraLibrary for JorumUK and a modified version of DSpace for JorumOpen.
JorumUK is currently available to UK FE and HE institutions, and is based on an institutionally registered User and Depositor licensing model. JorumOpen is free to access from any worldwide source - only depositors are required to sign up.
Jorum is run jointly by Mimas and EDINA, the two national data centres based at Universities of Manchester and Edinburgh.
The word ‘Jorum’ is of Biblical origin and means a collecting (or drinking) bowl.
