JNU launches Google-like search engine for its students
New Delhi, Jan 29 (PTI) The Jawaharlal Nehru University has launched a Google-like single window search option in its central library, enabling students and teachers to access all resources, including books, newspapers and research material.
The varsity's Vice-Chancellor S K Sopory launched the service, known as EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS), at the inaugural session of a seminar titled 'Transforming University Libraries' here yesterday.
"With relevancy-ranked results and an abundant amount of customisation options will allow JNU faculty and students and its research scholars, focus on the quality of the information found rather than spending time and energy on searching multiple resources. Only few very select academic institutes in India have facilities for single window search," the university said in a statement.
