INTRODUCING NISSPAC
NISSPAC is a database service provided for the higher education community by
NISS (National Information on Software and Services).
The idea behind NISSPAC is to provide a common interface to a variety of text
based data collections. At present, these consist of the NISS Software and
Datasets Catalogue, VAX Applications Software Directory, IBM Study Contracts
dataset and the CHEST Directory.
While every effort is being made to maintain a similar mode of use with each
of the data collections, some variations arise due to differences in the
nature and structure of the data.
Selecting a service from the NISSPAC menu results in a 'Main Menu' display for
that particular service. Full details regarding content, purpose and method of
use can be obtained at the Main Menu stage.
After using a particular service, the user may elect to exit the system and
logoff, or return to the NISSPAC Menu to select another service.

CHEST and the CHEST Directory
The Combined Higher Education Software Team, CHEST, exists to make good
quality commercial software available to the Higher Education community at
attractive prices and fair licence conditions. This is achieved by
negotiating reduced prices with software suppliers, arranging central
funding for some software purchases when recommended by the Inter
University Software Committee (IUSC) and encouraging the use of a standard
set of licence conditions.
All agreements through CHEST are on the basis that suppliers will be
contacted by only one named person per site. He/she is known as your CHEST
Site Contact; a full list will be found on the NISS Bulletin Board in
Section D3E.
The CHEST Directory contains details of software products available to the
UK academic community at special discounts. This version of the Directory
will be updated monthly. Details of each month's changes can be found on
the NISS Bulletin Board in Section D3D2X.
