El JISC (Joint Information Systems Committee) es un organismo británico que promueve el uso innovador de las tecnologías de la información en la Educación y la Investigación. Entre sus proyectos uno ha tratado el tema de la formación del personal en competencias informacionales: Investing in Staff i-Skills: A strategy for institutional development.  "Working in an electronic environment increases dependency on information; how it flows; who receives it; how to assess its quality and relevance. The delivery of information to the desktop raises expectations and, in turn, this impacts on a broad range of activities, which in the further and higher education contexts ranges from teaching to research to student learning. Within all departments, with each further and higher education institution, staff need the appropriate level of skills and information in finding, evaluating and using information resources effectively".
