IntroductionThe Department of Biotechnology (DBT), Ministry of Science and Technology, Government of India launched its e-Library Consortium in January 2009. The consortium commenced with 10 DBT core research institutions including DBT (HQ) and ICGEB, New Delhi.
Introduction (.. Contd....)
Department of Biotechnology (DBT), Government of India has currently fourteen (14) research institutions under its fold. All these institutions have separate libraries to cater to the information, both hard copy and electronic, needs of their researchers.
In order to provide information input for research, these libraries have been subscribing to a large number of e-journals and other resources.
Separate subscription by each institute amounted to a vast amount of expenditure and there were many avoidable duplication of resources.
Purpose of the Consortium Approach in DBT Institutions
Information explosion Diversity of user needs Financial crunch Impossibility of self-sufficiency
1. Most of DBT Institutions Libraries were
facing problems of Shrinking of Budget
2. Ever-Growing Users Requirements
3. Escalation of cost of Journals and Books
4. Unprecedented technological
advancement especially in the field of
information storage and retrieval
NEED of the DeLCON CONSORTIUM
DeLCON Consortium
The DDBT's eeLectronic LLibrary
CONCONsortium called as "DeLCON".
The ‘DBT e-Library Consortium’
(DeLCON) has now covered 917 online
resources with 20 International
Publishers.
Now the existing members of the
‘DeLCON Consortium’ are 33
Institutions.
