Future Plans
To establish a Microfilming unit with microfilm reader cum printer for researchers who want to consult theses and research projects reports collection.
To extend the library hours on the basis of feed back received from the researchers, officials of ICSSR, government officials, students of recognised institutions and general readers.
To have an exhaustive collection of government serials, commission and committee reports, working group/expert group reports published by the Planning Commission statistical yearbooks/abstracts published by the State Statistical Bureaus etc. (All important Government publications which have a bearing on social science research are to be acquired).
To have a network based computer-communication infrastructure so that the members in a multi-user environment can use catalogue database of resources available in the NASSDOC as well as various CD-Rom/On-line databases.
To introduce Selective Dissemination of Information (SDI) as a personalised research information service. Interviews with the researchers would be conducted in order to ascertain their need and the service will be designed on the basis of the feedback received. The emphasis would be on primary sources of information, and provision of full text of the data/information.
To establish a social science libraries network in the country linking the libraries of ICSSR supported research institutions and other major social science libraries of the country. Major objective of this proposed network is to start consortia based subscription to electronic journals for ICSSR supported institution’s libraries.

Famous quotes containing the words future and/or plans:
“I want the necessity of supplying my own wants. All this costly culture of yours is not necessary. Greatness does not need it. Yonder peasant, who sits neglected, carries a whole revolution of man and nature in his head, which shall be a sacred history to some future ages.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
