CONCLUSION

DELNET should also have full text PDF or HTML documents for
important and demanded documents.
 Today user consults DELNET mainly in lack of books, Journals, CD-ROMs
etc. or for reference only, but it is spreading its service area to make the
pace with the changing technological era.
 Achievement: It is found that engineering college libraries seek help from
DELNET not only in print media but online also.
 Services: It can solve the queries related to teaching and research. Users
have the better and multi-dimensional options to get their desired and
latest information.
