Access for Students to Ordnance Survey data via EDINA

Ordnance Survey has negotiated a deal with JISC and EDINA to provide Ordnance Survey digital mapping data to Higher Education Institutions, via a service called Digimap. An annual subscription is paid by the Institution and the service is then free for students to use. Take a look at the EDINA web site for more information on the service and to see if your Institution is subscribed. If your institution is not subscribed please contact us for further information.
