KAAD Newsletter Vol.1 Issue 2, December, 2021
An article abstract is a summary of the full article and explains what the article is about. It is valuable because it offers a quick overview of the article's content and can help you decide if the article will be useful for your research. Remember to cite from the full article in your research though, and never the abstract.
KAAD provides articles with abstracts from different periodicals (print form) subscribed by KRRC-Central Library at one place.
Explore the KAAD and send requests for full-text articles. The library will email you the scan copy of the same.

A sudden shock, an unknown, unwanted and a strange situation is what can be used to describe the COVID-19 Pandemic disease presented unique challenges to all the stakeholders of education system. The sudden and unexpected outbreak of the virus also forced the library professionals, to ascertain ways of working in a rapid time frame like shifting to digital platform wherever possible and to provide adequate remote services to the users.
SERVICES PROVIDED DURING LOCKDOWN :
Open Education Resources (OERs)
There are many scholarly freely available resources available notably National Digital Library of India (NDLI), Shodhganga-a repository of Electronic Thesis and Dissertation, Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), Book Boon, Directory of Open Access Books (DOAB) and many more. The OER platform is created using Google Sites and Google Custom Search Engine. The Web portal is a collection of metadata links of Open Educational Resources useful for ENGINEERING, PHARMACY, ARCHITECTURE & HUMANITIES Education and Research in Digital Environment. The purpose to create the web portal is to make aware students, faculty members, research scholars, around the world about the existence of open educational resources protected under creative common license, open access under copyright laws or under copyright free environment.
