Landmap seek alternative funding

Landmap, the geospatial datasets service, faces an uncertain future following recent funding changes. JISC funding will maintain Landmap until the end of December 2013, which includes helpdesk and workshop support as well as access to datasets and updates to e-learning content.

From 1 January 2014 to 31 July 2014 Landmap datasets and e-learning content will remain online but with no helpdesk support or updates to content. If you plan to use a Landmap dataset for your undergraduate or postgraduate dissertation, Landmap are advising that you get the data you need before 31 July 2014 as data availability can't be guaranteed after that.

JISC and MIMAS are currently looking for alternative funding. See JISC Funding Cut – Update for New Academic Year 2013/14 for more information or follow @Landmap on Twitter for the latest news.
