Promotion of INIS activities• Pakistan has established links with INIS/IAEA
since its inception in 1969.•
• SID/PINSTECH is responsible for all activities of INIS and its promotion in the country.
• INIS input is being submitted regularly.•
• Literature searches are provided not only to PINSTECH/PAEC but also to other research organizations including universities.
• INIS output products (full text) are made available to the end user free of cost.
INIS Linkage• Link of INIS at the Homepage of SID website
• Distribution of flayers and posters
• e-mail to all S & T organizations / universities having websites about free INIS access
• INIS Newsletter sent to all at PINSTECH LAN and placed at website
• SDI services from INIS database
• Workshop on dissemination of scientific information from INIS and other databases
Suggestions / Expectations• Close collaboration among ILOs
Sharing of information (scientific events, announcements, achievements, awards, etc)
e-mails Group of ILOs Web addresses of National INIS Centres Supply of literature to other Member States at no cost
basis (if possible) Provision of access to all literature resources
through website registration (www.sidnlps.org.pk)• INIS Satellite Units in main R & D institutions• Meeting of ILOs in other Members states (special
session for relevant researchers)• Digitalization of NCL on MF before 1970
