Preface

This compendium of e-resources/databases subscribed at NMIMS

University and other SVKM's institutions has been prepared to inform all
potential users like the students, faculty members and the researchers about
the availability of these resources in a single document. The compendium
gives a snapshot of each of the e-resources/databases, what it offers and
how to access the same. It is hoped that the intending user will find it
convenient to locate the particular e-resources relevant to his/her area of
interest and get the information to access particular e-resource.

The index of the compendium indicates the e-resources/databases

subscribed by various institutes of SVKM. Many of these databases are
shared by other institutions even though they may be subscribed by one of
our institutions. These shared resources are also indicated in the index.

This compendium is an inventory of the e-resources and is not a complete

user manual. For any details or assistance in respect of any these resources,
the intending user is advised to contact the Librarian of the particular
library which subscribes the databases. All assistance, including initial
training, will be given there.

It is hoped that the faculty members, students and researchers of our

institutions will find this compendium useful and make the best use of these
resources for their respective academic pursuits.
