چکیده
This paper examines common issues thrown up by the four successful responses to the JISC VRE development programme made by academics working within the Arts and Humanities. It focuses on the general strategic benefits to, and user needs in, these communities that VREs bring, VREs as agents of resource discovery and enhancement, integration with existing infrastructure, and the development of new tools and methods.
