An information system on academic programmes offered by various higher
educational institutions in India can help the students to select apt courses
and field of study and institution and enable universities and institutes to
assess the need for the introduction of a specific programme in a particular
locality. The author suggests that the INFLIBNET should develop such a
system with a website as 'Study in India' and defines its objectives. Existing
information sources like World of Learning and Universities Hardlook would
not be able to serve the purpose. Therefore computerised databases can be
developed by INFLIBNET (with a website named Study in India) with the
help of packages like BASIS PLUS ITECHLIB Plus and BASIS web server.
Of course CDS I ISIS software package can also be used by the libraries for
this purpose. The author suggests for the development of a computerised
prospectus as a standard format for all the universities and colleges in India.
