Pal Auditorium, Indian Agricultural Research Institute, PUSA, New Delhi-110012 About the Conference Access to Digital Resources is of paramount importance to the researchers, academicians, students and other stack holders.

In this era of transition from information age to knowledge society, libraries have much greater challenges to face. It is not only the advancing technology, there is change in the medium from physical to virtual, concept of service delivery has changed from one way to two way interactive and more customized to user needs. The whole perception of library has changed from collection of books to a single window knowledgebank. To be ready to migrate to knowledge society we need to sensitize the Indian National Agricultural Research System (NARS) comprising of State Agricultural Universities and Research Institutions in agriculture sector.
