About Library

The Library and Information Centre of the Institute is housed in the new Administrative building at the campus. The library is spread over 1700 sq feet area approximately and provides a soothing and comforting ambience for readers.

Being a specialized library, it caters to the specialized group of scientists and students by providing them information relevant to their research activities. Keeping in mind the research priorities of scientists at NARI, the library has till date built up a decent collection of books and journals covering the subject fields of Virology, Immunology, Microbiology, Biochemistry, Social & Behavioural Science, Epidemiology and Biostatistics. The library is often visited by students and researchers from other institutes in and around Pune.

The library has eight computers dedicated for users to search resources over Internet and access online resources provided by NARI and ICMR individually or through collaborations. It has posters, CDs and DVDs to promote awareness against HIV/AIDS among general population. The library provides reference and information services on demand and anticipation as well. It also provides services such as photocopying, binding and scanning.

NARI takes out bulletin quarterly. The library is actively involved in the publishing, printing and distribution of the NARI Bulletin.

Journals

Since NARI is a research institute, journals assumes greater importance. Library has access to J-gate plus, which is an integrated e-journal portal providing three-level access to e-journals. First, it provides access to all the 19 journals currently subscribed by NARI on its own. Second, it provides indexing and abstracting for all the journals subscribed by the group of institutional libraries of ICMR. Third, it indexes about 39000 journals catering to Agricultural & Biological Sciences, Arts & Humanities, Basic Sciences, Biomedical Sciences, Engineering and Technology, and Social & Management Sciences.

Library is also a member to ERMED (Electronic Resources in Medicine) e-journal consortium. Through ERMED, the library provides access to 318 journals.

Besides, library has access to the Cochrane Databases. Given below are the links which would lead staff and students of NARI to the respective homepages of publishers for gaining access to the content of journals. Access to the journals has been set up through institutional IPs.
