  38. Initiatives in the Pipeline • Several proposal are at the conceptual stage to promote digital archiving; content creation and information access/dissemination • National Digital Library (NDL) -DIT, GOI • National Digital Library of Learning Objects by CEC,University Grants Commission

  39. High Potential For International Collaboration • North-south and south-south collaborations essential for fast growth and mutual benefit • Need for noted international organizations like CODATA to take lead in these matters

  40. Summary • Fairly Large resource-base • Supporting and promoting access to scientific information by creating • Indigenous digital databases • E-journals • Institutional Repositories • Digital Libraries • Providing and facilitating access to digital resources through consortia • Not an exhaustive account
