I feel proud to congratulate Informatics India Ltd, for launching eBoox.in, an aggregation of global e-books with ambition to cover more Indian books. This platform really gives on par visibility for Indian books as a global product. It is pride for all Indians, specifically library and information Science professionals in India, for such a contribution in a movement like ‘digital India’ and being a global product as ‘Make in India’. Informatics, being an early pioneer in introducing online and new library technology products to Indian libraries, started developing many products and services in digital media and continued to scale itself in development of global product. This is perhaps the first e-book aggregation product from Indian companies, for academic and research users, covering both global and local content in all disciplines. The interface, as I could briefly browse, is neat and easy to navigate. I feel that library and information professionals from India should not just be a passive user of such Indian products; they should participate in nurturing such products from India, specifically for a trendy user-interface. Informatics has been very pro-active for such participation from librarians and academicians, since its inception. Content base, as I could notice, started with quality publications from reputed Indian academic and Government institutions like TERI, Central Board of Irrigation & Power, etc., besides commercial publishers, eBoox.in can emerge as a good choice for difficult-to-find Indian content for researchers. As a Medical Librarian I am happy to see medical titles in eBoox.in from S Kargar, a familiar and highly renowned global publishers. More than just wishing informatics a good luck and success, I wish librarians as well as academicians/ Researcher should participate for par development with other global products.
