Introduction

NIRT Library plays a key role in furthering the research mission of NIRT. Besides holding an excellent print collection of over 17000 Volumes of books and journals on health science, it also holds CD-ROMs, Gratis materials, photographs, reprints, slides, theses, video cassettes, and WHO Publications. During the last fourteen years the Library makes significant investments in acquiring e-journals.

It also provides a gateway to ICMR consortium journals, JGate@ERMED, ICMR Resource sharing portal JGate@ICMR, and open access resources.
