ABOUT THE IASLIC
The Indian Association of Special Libraries and Information Centres (IASLIC)
was established in 1955 as a non-profit national organization. IASLIC,
during the last fifty years, has made a remarkable and stellar contribution
in its mission to promote library and information science movement; to
improve professional competencies; and to foster coordination and
cooperation among the professional associations and organizations. IASLIC
has become the leader-coordinator in the field of special librarianship in
India.
The IASLIC holds seminar and conference in alternate years. Current problems
of libraries and information services and other allied areas are selected as
themes for discussion on these occasions. 22 Seminars and 26 Conferences had
taken place at different research and academic institutions in various parts
of the country upto 2007. IASLIC (www.iaslic1955.org) has announced the 23rd
All India Seminar to be held at Bose Institute, Kolkata during 10-13

ABOUT THE BOSE INSTITUTE
The Bose Institute was founded by Acharya Jagadish Chandra Bose, F.R.S., in
1917. The institute is one of the earliest, perhaps the first modern
research institute in India. Acharya J.C. Bose is generally acknowledged as
the father of modern scientific research in India. The institute has evolved
over the years into a multi-disciplinary research organization with stress
on fundamental research in its pursuit of advancement of knowledge in
Science and Technology and Is still developing highly competent and able
scientific manpower for the country. Highly qualified and experienced
scientists working in the field of Biological, Biochemical, Chemical and
Physical Sciences placed in long established departments of Physics,
Chemistry, Botany, Microbiology, Biochemistry, and Biophysics,
Bioinformatics and the research sections of Plant Molecular & Cellular
Genetics, Animal Physiology, Immunotechnology and Environmental Science.
Besides, there are service centres such as Sophisticated Analytical
Instrument Facility (SAIF), Central Instrumentation Facility, BIC, Library,
Workshop, Madhyamgram Experimental Farm etc. The wide ranging and
comprehensive base of available scientific infrastructure also comprises the
Acharya J. C. Bose High Altitude Research Centre at Darjeeling and
experimental field stations at Falta and Madhyamgram in West Bengal catering
to the need and requirements of scientists in their researches. Bose
Institute has thus, very effectively and successfully achieved the major
objectives for which it was established and continues to grow in its
scientific excellence contending with the best in biochemical, biophysical
and physical and plant sciences.
The Bose Institute is one of the few multi-disciplinary institutions in the
country that has succeeded in developing a vast intellectual resources in
areas ranging from astrophysics, radiation physics, quantum mechanics to the
frontline areas of contemporary biology such as bioinformatics &
computational biology, structure and functional dynamics of Biomolecules,
Drug Modeling, Molecular Genetics of Microbes, and development of Transgenic
Plants. In addition to the research and development the institute has
recently introduced one Integrated M.Sc. - Ph.D. programme in Plant
Molecular Biology and Biotechnology in collaboration with University of
Calcutta and M.Sc. programme in Astrophysics in collaboration with
Astroparticle Physics St. Xaviers College, Kolkata. Based on the enduring
development of scientific expertise for 90 yrs, the institute has scripted a
programme of research for 11th five year plan that will allow it to retain
the competitive edge in the 21st Century. Several steps have been recently
initiated to further improve accessibility and connectivity to internet
services. In an addition, efforts are underway to develop a digital library
to improve access to scientific literature search and exchange of data.
The Bose Institute Library, a national pride, was founded by Sir Jagadis
Chandra Bose in the year 1917. It is a special science reference Library,
primarily meant for the use of its research staff i.e. faculty members and
research scholars and staff of the Institute. It is also frequently used by
the faculty members and research scholars of other Institutes and
Universities located in and around Kolkata and West Bengal. A wing of the
Library has been opened at "Acharya J.C. Bose Centenary Campus" at
Kankurgachi, Kolkata in the year 1983. A new wing of library is opened in
2008 in Salt Lake Campus. The Library, besides having a huge collection of
books on physical and biological sciences offers library services through
its various Divisions. The Systematic Accession Register was started in this
Library from 1937. First name that auspicious book was "Space, Time and
Gravitation" by A.S. Eddington (1929). The library has a collection of 0.50
lakh books. Few collections are being digitized viz. a few rare books of BI
library, 400 thesis collection whose metadata upto content level is also
available in digital format and a few collection of Sir J.C. Bose is also
digitized by library. The library is in the verge of total computerization
of its collection. Library provides access to more than 2000 E-Journals and
E-Book collections. The library is pioneer in subscribing BMN Reviews,
Scopus of Elsevier and Century of Science of ISI Web of Science. These
resources can be accessed form library website from Main Campus and
Centenary Campus of the Institute.
