Dear Mr. Santosh Hats off - for this effort! The beginning of any such thing is always an experimental stage. And also a chicken and egg stage. Unless more conferences put in abstracts - the real value to end users does not show up. So all of us need to encourage conference organizers to put in abstracts here.

Dear all,

We deem it our privilege to share with you a good news that *ICon-AD crossed the mark of 1000 abstracts *today. Till date, 1005 conference abstracts of 1397 authors have been archived successfully. Many abstracts of other conferences are in the process of archival.

We sincerely thank all our partnering institutes, Project Volunteers, authors, LIS professionals, publishers, our technical experts and colleagues for making ICon-AD one of the useful bibliographic databases of conference abstracts.

For more details about the database, please visit www.iconad.in or visit the database directly on http://dspace.iconad.in:8080/jspui/

To be honest, the ICon-AD is still under experiments. The database is yet to prove as the complete database in terms of its design, data entry, method, reach, contents etc. So we welcome your feedback, critical comments and suggestions to make ICon-AD a qualitative database.

Best regards,

Santosh C. Hulagabali Project Head, ICon-AD
