Unit 10: Library Information Systems and Networks

CD-ROM-based Search Services Notes
The Centre subscribes to a large number of databases on CD-ROM consisting of bibliographic details
of research articles mainly in the area of social sciences, arts and humanities. Services from these
databases are available free-of-cost to the academic community including research scholars and the
students for their research activities. These CD-ROM databases have been discontinued since 2003
given the fact that e-resources are now being made available to universities under the purview of
UGC through the UGC-INFONET Digital Library Consortium. The CD-ROM databases available
at the INFLIBNET Library are as follows:
• LISA: Library and Information Science Abstract [1969-2003]
