Dear all, Wishing you all a Happy New Year. We deem it our privilege to launch ICon-AD (Indian Conference-Abstracting Database-Beta Version), one of the non-profit national projects of our Library and Information Centre. The ICon-AD archives abstracts (of the papers) submitted to various Indian conferences. Indeed, we got an overwhelming response to our project even before the launch of the same!!. Seventeen colleges/universities have already shared their conference abstracts with ICon-AD. The list of Participating Institutes comprises the institutes like TISS, University of Mumbai, Tripura University, National Law University, MET, etc. The database is built on DSpace with the ICon-AD's official website. So far, we have archived 615 abstracts (of 17 Indian conferences) penned by 872 authors. More than 30 Project-Volunteers have directly and indirectly helped us in archiving the abstracts. Any academic/non-academic institute can participate in this project by sharing the abstracts received at the time of organising the conference/s. So join us as Participating Institute or Project Volunteer. For more details, please visit www.iconad.in and to access the database directly click on 'Access ICon-AD' (http://176.31.141.23:8081/jspui/). You may please share your constructive feedback and help us make ICon-AD as single portal for conference abstracts. Best regards, Santosh C.
