The main activity of the group is to act as an effective link between the technical personnel of the Institute and the outside world of S&T. This is done by providing services pertaining to the dissemination of information to the staff through the collection of information in terms of hard bound journals, proceedings & books and making available hard/soft copies of articles from around the world to suit specific technical requirements of different projects. The Institute is also a member of CSIR e-journal Consortium to access a variety of scientific journals from major publishers.
