[LIS-Forum] New AICTE specifications regarding subscription of E-Journals

[Dr. J. K. Vijayakumar]

Very good move by AICTE, which will provide access to high-end literature and in turn will improve the learning, teaching and research output of the country. Librarians will have a great role in providing access, training and literature search helps to the user community, and maximize the usage of thee resources.

I was wondering why  ACM Digital Library is not mandatory for Engineering Libraries, as per AICTE? This is the most comprehensive collection of full-text articles and bibliographic records covering the fields of computing
 and information technology. Its founding society, ACM is the world’s largest educational and scientific computing society. I believe this resource should be included as mandatory for technical institutions.
