A three-day workshop "INDEST-NCSI workshop on Institutional Repositories" will be organized at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore, India, during 27-29 July 2004. The workshop is organized by the National Centre for Science Information (NCSI), IISc, in association with the Digital Library Research Group, Computer Science Department, Old Dominion University, Virginia, USA. The workshop is sponsored by the INDEST Consortium (Indian Digital Library for Engineering, Science and Technology http://paniit.iitd.ac.in/indest/). The workshop is aimed at setting up inter-operable e-print archives at core INDEST consortium member institutions covering Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT's), Indian Institutes of Management (IIM's), and National Institutes of Technology (NIT's). The e-print archive set up at IISc is a pre-cursor to this national level effort (http://eprints.iisc.ernet.in/).
This workshop is an extension of the initial focus of the INDEST consortium to provide licensed/shared access to a large number of e-journals and databases. More details of the workshop is available on the INDEST website mentioned above (first item in 'What's New' box). This is for your kind information.
