University Networks

Dear Laughing Tree,
It has been a regular feature that whenever there is a connectivity or hardware problem, the users at our end blame the entire ICT/IT/Digital world in one go even before we could blink or say alpha! There had to be much love lost...after all, it was a "compliment in disguise" - the better we grew the better facilities they demanded! Always one up!! So, on Valentine Day, a smiling talk on " University Networks" was organized to benefit as many as possible in this love-hate relationship.
Dr. Shobhit Mahajan shared a crisp, informative and interactive presentation with faculty members, students and research scholars. Through a busy routine, the team at the Delhi University Computer Centre has been able to add marvelous functions to the University Website:
1. E-mail IDs for all faculty and Students
2. Soft pool to be shared with the Univ. server; http://www.du.ac.in/ducc/application.htm
3. Conference site: http://www.du.ac.in/conf.html
4. Access to prepaid full text journals within the campus: UGC Infonet E-Journals Consortium; ERNET Digital Library ; http://csl.du.ac.in/;
5. On campus training: http://www.du.ac.in/ducc/training.htm
6. E-Books http://ebooks.du.ac.in/ server to be able to download full text of books out of copyright
7. In-house software development
8. E-learning portal for content dissemination- http://e-learn.du.ac.in/index.php?module=splashscreen
9. Free access to BA programme course material - http://www.du.ac.in/coursematerial/ba/index.html
10. EPrint Archive http://eprints.du.ac.in/ server for faculty member to be able to freely upload documents, published or unpublished papers, reviews etc. to be shared with the rest of the world

All this besides multifold administrative applications!! Feels good! Do share your ideas with director@ducc.du.ac.in
