Abstract:
The JNU, New Delhi was started in 1969 and during the past thirty six years it has grown
into a prestigious university of its kind in India today. Being a premier university in
teaching and research programmes, it aimed to develop digital library for collecting the
documents and manage networked information services for the benefits of faculty, students,
research scholars and other academic community in their education and research.
The University has more than thirty six centres, which comes under nine schools.
Each year it publishes close to 1000 research papers and awards about 2312 degrees in
various disciplines. To reveal the prestige of a university, Institutional Repository is the
one and only way to make the whole world knowing the esteem of a university. With
access to IR, the students will be able to find, read the literature reviews of their peers
and global knowledge sharing is also possible. In this paper we discuss the future plans
towards implementation of IR in JNU Central Library and also describe about some
available IR software.
