The level of demand might be measured by a combination of the average number of students studying the subject and the level of existing support available for the subject area from UK-based gateways and other relevant, accessible, services. The Hub will collaborate with existing subject gateway developers wherever possible. In the future we expect to widen the intended audience to include members of further education institutions, in line with funding bodies' policy. Currently, the Hub operates a policy of making its resources free of charge to anyone who has access to an Internet connection. We recognise that the Hub's users will include members of diverse communities not listed within the Hub's primary audience.
All users have access to online help documentation.
All users are able to recommend resources for inclusion within the Hub's catalogue. We can only provide limited personal support for using Humbul via email and telephone and such support is available only to the Hub's primary audience. Contributors to the Hub receive training via documentation and personal support. The following list provides examples of the types of resource described within the Humanities Hub's catalogue. 2.5 Resources in languages other than English Given that the core subject coverage of the Hub includes modern languages and literatures the Hub's catalogue will contain a substantial number of records which describe resources delivered in languages other than English.
