The UGC-Infonet Digital Library Consortium was formally launched
in December, 2003 by Honourable Dr. A P J Abdul Kalam, the
President of India soon after providing the Internet connectivity to
the universities in the year 2003 under the UGC-Infonet programme.
The Consortium provides current as well as archival access to more
than
7500+ core and peer-reviewed journals and 10 bibliographic databases
from 26 publishers and aggregators in different disciplines. The
programme has been implemented in phased manner. In the first phase
that began in 2004, access to e-resources was provided to 50
universities who had Internet connectivity under the UGC-Infonet
Connectivity programme of the UGC.
In the second phase, 50 more
universities were added to the programme in the year 2005. So far 209
Universities including 14 National Law schools and central universities
that come under the purview of UGC, have been provided differential
access to subscribed e-resources. These e-resources covers almost all
subject disciplines including arts, humanities, social sciences,
physical sciences, chemical Sciences, life sciences, computer sciences,
mathematics and statistics, etc. The programme is wholly funded by the
UGC and executed by the INFLIBNET (Information and Library Network)
Centre, Gndhinagar.
