N-LIST inaugurated by Sibal

PTI | May 4, 2010



Over 2,000 e-journals and 51,000 digitalised books will be just a click away for students, researchers and faculty members of over 7,000 colleges across the country with the launch of an electronic library, N-LIST, here today.

The National Library and Information Services Infrastructure for Scholarly Content (N-LIST) project, inaugurated by HRD Minister Kapil Sibal, will also enable users to access the e-resources and download articles.

Faculty, staff, students and researches from colleges covered under section 12B of UGC Act are eligible to access e-resources through the N-LIST project.

Out of nearly 25,000 colleges, over 7,000 institutions are covered under this section.

The students and faculty members can directly download the material from the publisher's website after they are authenticated through servers deployed in the INFLIBNET Centre, a statement issued by the HRD Ministry said.

These colleges are required to register themselves on the N-LIST Website. Currently, 665 colleges are registered members. Registered colleges are issued Log-in ID and passwords for their authorised users including faculty, staff, researchers and students.

Those colleges which are not covered under 2F/12B Act of the UGC may also join as N-LIST associate members.

The project is jointly executed by the UGC-INFONET Digital Library Consortium, INFLIBNET Centre and the INDEST-AICTE Consortium, IIT Delhi.
