Welcome to Resource Guide on Open Access Resources!
The NFLIC has a fast growing collection of books, journals,
magazines both in print and digital format covering most disciplines taught and
researched at the Institute. Library has developed collection in every possible
area of interest to the campus community. To support the research activities,
library purchase books and subscribes core journals, e-database (Forest Science
Database) of forestry and allied sciences.
There are large number of Open Access Resources available
free of cost on internet. I’m sharing the guide of Open Access Resources
available free of cost on internet.
This resource guide serves as gateway to various resources
available under the Open Access Initiative. Open Access Resources are available
in various forms and types such as e- journals, e-books, Electronic Theses
& Dissertations, Directories, e-print archives, digital repositories, open
education resources, search engines and blogs etc. All these resources are
scholarly and useful to support our academic and research work and are
available on the web. Most of these being free, can be accessed without any
restrictions at the user end. Resources listed here are mainly on the web,
except few, which are part of library collection.
This resource guide, enable you to access at one point, a large number of
national and international scholarly resources and by no means is a
comprehensive list, but serves as a useful starting point. We strive to
add newer resources and keep the entire range of resource lists updated from
time to time.
We request your active participation in making this resource
guide as useful starting point for scholarly resources and request for your
comments and suggestions.
