  • The digital library of IIT Kharagpur is having a huge collection of e-documents and most of them are pertaining to the academic knowledge, journals, abstracts, conference proceedings, project work, PhD thesis, research papers, reports, databases etc.
    The students, staff, and alumini who are having a valid IIT-K email ID only can login in the system and access those huge resources.
    They have also developed an institutional digital repository system using open source software DSpace, which preserves the institute's intellectual output for campus wide access.
