About INDEST-AICTE Consortium
The
INDEST-AICTE Consortium is the most ambitious initiative taken so far
in the country. The “Indian National Digital Library in Engineering
Sciences and Technology (INDEST) Consortium” was set up in 2003 by the
Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) on the recommendation of
an Expert Group appointed by the Ministry. The IIT Delhi was designated
as the Consortium Headquarters to coordinate its activities. The
Ministry provides funds required for subscription to selected electronic
resources for (65) institutions including IISc, IITs, NERIST,ISM, IIIT,
IIITM, IISERs, NITs, NITTTR, IIMs and a few other centrally-funded
Government Institutions through the consortium headquarters set-up at
the IIT Delhi. Besides, 60 Government or Government-aided engineering
colleges and technical departments in universities have joined the
Consortium with financial support from the AICTE. The Consortium was
re-named as INDEST-AICTE Consortium in December 2005 with the AICTE
playing a pivotal role in enrolling its approved engineering colleges
and institutions as members of the Consortium for selected e-resources
at much lower rates of subscription. The Consortium enrolls engineering
and technological institutions as its members and subscribe to
electronic resources for them at discounted rates of subscription and
favorable terms and conditions. The consortium has served over 1235
institutions under its Self supported member.
Objectives:
· To provide a platform to all INDEST members to interact and share their experience.
· INDEST-AICTE Consortium to update their members on their activities, development& future plans.
·
To provide an opportunity to INDEST-AICTE Consortium members to discuss
and deliberate on emerging trends and technology in libraries.
· To promote use of e-resources, resource sharing & inter library networking.
Target Participants:
All members of INDEST-AICTE Consortium and other interested library professionals.
