English abstract

The project proposal on Development of an Information and Library Network (INFLIBNET) became a public document by 1990. The aim of INFLIBNET as provided in the report was modernizing college and university libraries in India and connecting them through a nation-wide high speed data network using the state-of-art technologies for the optimum utilization of information. INFLIBNET was envisaged to be a major player in promoting scholarly communication among academicians and researchers in India. The report provides in detail the objectives of INFLIBNET, output and services, organization, standards, software and hardware, network and communication architecture, manpower and training, management mechanism, implementation mechanism etc. This study critically evaluates the proposal against existing real situation of the country and points out that proposals on various aspects and the time frame fixed for implementation are impractical. The study also points out the need and importance of State level regional sub centres of INFLIBNET which only can materialize the objectives of the project by extending the link and services to each and every university and college in the country so that all the teachers and students in the country will get access to the whole fund of knowledge generated in the country and the world. The study also proposes a model plan for setting up a Regional Centre of INFLIBNET for the State of Kerala.
