Digital Distribution of Technical Journals
& Periodicals
In today’s fast changing world technical periodicals
and journals are often the best way to keep
abreast of latest developments and trends.
Libraries tend to normally get a limited number
of copies of such technical publications,
some of which tend to be expensive.
The document management functionality that
has been integrated with ELiS enables the
digital distribution of such publications
and relevant articles in each publication.
Library members can specify publications of
interest and using ELiS an administrator can
send specific articles and publications to
the member’s email inbox.
WEB Enabled
The OPAC (Online Public Access Catalog) module
in ELiS enables library members access the
library catalog over the internet or an intranet.
Users can search for books based on various
parameters and also reserve books to be picked
up.
