  10. General Information • No. of universities in Pakistan (HEC) = 133 Public = 73, Private = 60 • No. of S & T universities = 81 Public = 58, Private = 23 • No. of Nuclear Centers (PAEC) = 53 Medical = 15, Agriculture/ Bio-Tech = 06 Energy = 14, Academic / research = 11 • Productive Scientists (PCST 2008) = 664 • Journals published from Pakistan (HEC) = 138 • Input received for INIS from journals = 69 Medicine = 11, Agriculture = 07 Engineering = 13, others = 38

  11. Promotion of INIS activities • Pakistan has established links with INIS/IAEA since its inception in 1969. • SID/PINSTECH is responsible for all activities of INIS and its promotion in the country. • INIS input is being submitted regularly. • Literature searches are provided not only to PINSTECH/PAEC but also to other research organizations including universities. • INIS output products (full text) are made available to the end user free of cost.

  12. INIS Linkage • Link of INIS at the Homepage of SID website • Distribution of flayers and posters • e-mail to all S & T organizations / universities having websites about free INIS access • INIS Newsletter sent to all at PINSTECH LAN and placed at website • SDI services from INIS database • Workshop on dissemination of scientific information from INIS and other databases

  13. Suggestions / Expectations • Close collaboration among ILOs • Sharing of information (scientific events, announcements, achievements, awards, etc) • e-mails Group of ILOs • Web addresses of National INIS Centres • Supply of literature to other Member States at no cost basis (if possible) • Provision of access to all literature resources through website registration (www.sidnlps.org.pk) • INIS Satellite Units in main R & D institutions • Meeting of ILOs in other Members states (special session for relevant researchers) • Digitalization of NCL on MF before 1970
