Dear forum members,

I would like to inform you about a website
http://www.indiancdproducts.org/ which is a Bibliography of Indian CD
Products. This website is a part of National Center on Publications on
CD-ROM (NCPC), a center set up by NISSAT, DSIR at FITT and IIT Delhi.
Through the website, one can search CD-ROM by Title, Keywords and
Category. Union Catalogue of various organizations is also maintained
and facility to search by Organization Name and Title is also available.
Search results contain the Title, Description, Publisher/vendor and
their address. 

One of the objectives of NCPC is "To systematically procure all CD-ROMs
published in India and on India. (Except      software, games, music and
purely entertainment CDs and reproduction of foreign CD Publications for
the Indian market) and build up a National Repository of CD-ROMs".
Keeping in mind the requests made by forum members to get a particular
CD, I believe this resource is not being used extensively. The site
statistics also confirms the same (almost 11,300 visitors in past 3.5
years). It may be because of lack of awareness or improper marketing of
website. However I didn't get the information about number of titles
available with the centre, it is systematically procuring all the CD's
published in India and also creating a Union Catalogue of CD's available
in various Library and Information Centers; so it can be a good starting
point for searching a particular CD Title.

Regards.
