[LIS-Forum] New AICTE specifications regarding subscription ofE-Journals

[MN Seetharaman]

Dear Sir,

You are correct in stressing on the need  for engineering libraries to have 
access to  ACM Digital Library.  Apart from ACM Digital Library, engineering 
libraries will do well to have access to IEEE conference proceedings as 
well.   IEEE conference proceedings which are available  in CD format   are 
supplied in print format,  if so required,  by Curran Associates Inc., New 
York.  Their website :  www.proceedings.com  lists more than 10,000 
conference proceedings from over 500  scholarly and professional  societies 
and  associations, including IEEE. . .

This is for general information for all engineering librarians.

Thanking you,

With best wishes

M N Seetharaman
former Head of the Information Centre, NAL, Bangalore
& Chief Librarian, IIT Madras
