A primeira inicia por volta de 1995, proximo da meia-vida da rede ISSN, quando a Internet estava bem estabelecida e a Web comecava a ter significância para a comunicacao academica. Como tambem foi o periodo em que se fez contato com o Centro Internacional do ISSN e EDINA estava se estabelecendo, narram-se algumas de suas atividades conjuntas nos ultimos vinte anos.Faz referencia ao papel do ISSN na identificacao de conteudo seriado durante a mudanca do impresso para o digital.

The project partners are staff members of two academic data libraries (at the University of Edinburgh and the London School of Economics) and three national data centres-the Data Archive, EDI NA (Edinburgh Data and Information Access), and MIMAS (Manchester Information & Associated Services). The aims of the project were: • to ascertain how to lower barriers to the use of numeric data in learning and teaching, and; • to determine ways to foster and promote effective local data support services able to work independently and in effective collaboration with the national data services. To achieve these aims, an enquiry was launched in February 2000. The following objectives were pursued: • Set up a diverse Task Force made up of academic teachers and user supporters. • Open a public electronic forum for solving problems in the use of data in learning and teaching. Use the email list, the project website, academic conferences and newsletters to disseminate project findings. • Undertake a national sur vey of teaching departments to discover the current state of the use of numeric data in learning and teaching. • Develop at least six exemplary case studies on the use of numeric data in the classroom in different disciplines and levels of education. • Analyse the results from the studies, and in consultation with the Task Force, deliver a report of recommendations to JISC and other relevant bodies.
