We are happy to inform the professionals that the N-LIST Project of the INFLIBNET Centre has received Manthan Award South Asia 2010 under the category e-LEARNING. The project N-LIST stands for National Library and Information Services Infrastructure for Scholarly Content (N-LIST). It is a joint project of IIT, Delhi and INFLIBNET Centre, Ahmedabad. About the Award Manthan Award is a first of its kind initiative in India to recognize the best practices in e-Content and Creativity. It (http://www.manthanaward.org) was launched on 10th October 2004 by Digital Empowerment Foundation in partnership with World Summit Award, Department of Information Technology, Govt. of India, and various other stakeholders like civil society members, media and other similar organisations engaged in promoting digital content inclusiveness in the whole of South Asian nation states for development. Since then it has come to define the very best in e-Content for development arena in India. Now, after four immensely successful years of holding it within India, the organisers have moved its boundary from India to SAARC countries namely India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Maldives, Bhutan & Afghanistan. Background of the Project The project is funded by the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), under its National Mission on Education through ICT, and is being jointly executed by the INFLIBNET Centre and IIT Delhi. The project provides for i) cross-subscription to e-resources subscribed by the two Consortia, i.e. subscription to INDEST-AICTE resources for universities and UGC-INFONET resources for technical institutions; and ii) subscription to selected electronic journals and electronic books for colleges. While the IIT Delhi is responsible for activity listed at (i) above, the INFLIBNET Centre is responsible for extending access to e-resources to colleges. The Centre is also responsible for developing and deploying appropriate software tools and techniques for authenticating authorized users. Under the project, individuals (including students, researchers and faculty) from colleges and other beneficiary institutions have access to more than 2,100 electronic journals, 51,000 electronic books and a bibliographic database called MathSciNet through a proxy server installed at the INFLIBNET Centre. The authorized users from colleges can access e-resources and download articles required by them directly from the publishers website once they are duly authenticated using technologies deployed for this purpose at the INFLIBNET Centre. Current Status The Project was formally launched by Honourable Union Minister of Human Resource Development Shri Kapil Sibal at New Delhi on 4th May 2010. As on December 21, 2010, a total number of 1530 colleges have registered themselves with the N-LIST programme including 1012 colleges covered under the 12B and 2F Section of the UGC Act. Lon-in IDs and passwords for accessing e-resources have been sent to these 1012 colleges after obtaining list of authorized users from them. Remaining colleges are being advised to join the initiative as N-LIST Associates. All e-resources subscribed for colleges under the N-LIST Programme are now accessible to these 1012 colleges through the N-LIST Website at http://nlist.inflibnet.ac.in. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------Rajesh Chandrakar, Commonwealth Professional Fellow Scientist - B (LS) INFLIBNET (INFormation and LIBrary NETwork) Centre An IUC of University Grants Commission Near Gujarat University Guest House, PB No. 4116, Navrangpura, Ahmedabad - 380 009, India Tel. +91-(0)79-26305971/ 8528/ 4695(O), 26873805(R) Mobile: +91-9427527894 Fax: +91-(0)79-26300990, 263007816 E-mail: rajesh@inflibnet.ac.in; rchandrakar@gmail.com Website: http://www.inflibnet.ac.in Weblog: http://www.inflibnet.ac.in/blog Video Gallery: http://www.youtube.com/INFLIBNET --------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
