Dear All,

There are now some Use Cases and possible Use Scenarios for IESR (the JISC
Information Environment Service Registry) available at:

http://iesr.ac.uk/use/use-cases/

These may be of interest because they indicate ways in which we envisage
IESR being used.

Best wishes,
        Ann

PS. Apologies to those who have already seen this announcement on other
lists.
