`AIDS InfoNet' is a consortium of HIV and AIDS related e-books (please see list at the end) offering free and perpetual access for National AIDS Control Organization, all state AIDS Control
Societies and 281 MCI approved medical colleges in India. UNAIDS has pioneered this initiative in tandem with its commitment to provide reliable technical information to decision makers and thus help in the delivery of an effective response.
AIDS InfoNet consists of e-books from reputed publishers, covering a range of important issues relating to HIV and AIDS. Advantages of the consortium are multifold, e.g., it is possible to share the licenses for subscribed books across several institutions where users can access them from the place of their convenience. The facility also allows information search across the book collection, bypassing individual book indexes/contents page as in the case of paper books.
It even allows one to track the usage, thereby allowing efficient decisions on further purchases etc.
The consortium was released by Mr. Naresh Dayal, Secretary, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare on 20 December 2007 at New Delhi. The information on accessing the consortium has been dispatched to all the institutions more than a month ago. Information dissemination within the institution often takes time (as also there is a possibility of the letter getting mis-delivered).
