This page describes some of the activities being undertaken by staff at UKOLN as part of the Renardus Consortium
The Renardus service aims to provide a trusted source of selected, high quality Internet resources for those teaching, learning and researching in higher education in Europe. Renardus provides integrated search and browse access to records from individual participating subject gateway services (data providers) across Europe. The Renardus Consortium is made up of participating subject gateways and technical partners. UKOLN's involvement in the consortium is primarily through the participation of the Resource Discovery Network (RDN), who harvest records from all RDN gateways using the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH) and make these available to the Renardus service through the Z39.50 protocol.
The Renardus service grew from a project funded 1 January 2000-30 June 2002 by the EU's Information Society Technologies 5th framework programme. See the project archive for public deliverables and for more information on the project and its context. The service is hosted at the Niedersächsische Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek, Göttingen (SUB), Germany, on behalf of the Renardus Consortium.
