INFLIBNET ACTIVITIES, SERVICES AND FUTURE PLANS
(INFLIBNET Centre, 2004)
Information and Library Network (INFLIBNET) is the major IUC of the University Grants Commission (UGC) started in 1991 with its Headquarters located at Gujarat University Campus, Ahmedabad. The Programme is directed towards modernization of libraries and information centers, and establishment of a mechanism for information transfer and access, to support scholarship, learning and academic pursuits. It is also aimed at establishing a national network of libraries and information centres in universities, institutions of higher learning and R and D institutions in India. It is basically a co-operative endeavor in resource development, sharing and its utilization at national level. Over the years, the Programme has progressed steadily and since May 1996 it is an independent autonomous Inter-University Centre under UGC to co-ordinate and implement the nationwide high-speed network using state-of-the-art technologies for connecting all the university libraries in the country. INFLIBNET is set out to be a major player in promoting scholarly communication among academicians and researchers in India.
