Darwin Papers from Cambride University

The collection of Charles Darwin's papers at the University Library originates in the work of his son Francis, who published two editions of his father's letters, in 1887 and 1903.  For these editions he collected as many of Charles's letters and papers as possible, which remained in the family after Francis died.  In 1942 the Pilgrim Trust and the Darwin family gave most of these papers to the University Library, another portion being given to the museum recently established at Down House.

E-Resources mandated by AICTE for engineering institutes- Contact Details

 The Education Promotion Society of India (EPSI) has written to Union Minister of HRD Mr. Kapil Sibal voicing its concern on the arbitrariness and unfairness shown by the AICTE for mandatory subscription to E-Resources from select few foreign publishers.

In the recently released 'Approval Process for 2012-2013' document, AICTE has clearly made it mandatory for all higher education institutions (including management institutions) to subscribe to e-Journals of selected companies. Shockingly, AICTE has also clearly mentioned the ‘Annual subscription price per Institute’ in the document. (See image below: Source http://www.aicte-india.org/downloads/CORRIGENDUM_171111.pdf) Annexure I.
