Abstract:
DLIST is the Digital Library of Information Science and Technology, a repository of electronic resources in the domains of Library and
Information Science (LIS) and Information Technology (IT). Initial collection development scope is in Information Literacy and
Informetrics. Academics, researchers, and practitioners create a wealth of content that includes published papers, instructional materials,
tutorials for software and databases, bibliographies, pathfinders, bibliometric datasets, dissertations and reports. DLIST aims to capture
this wealth of information in a library that is openly available for re-use and flobal dissemination. Open deposit processes where authors
retain copyright and facilities for full-text storage in a variety of formats are used.
A demonstration of DLIST along with the steps to register, deposit, and use materials is a part of the oral presentation at CALIBER
2003, Ahmedabad, India. UK and US experiences in building institutional repositories and strategies for international consortia building
for resource sharing using DLIST are also outlined.
