Dear Biju

After the application of ICT in Libraries and Information Centre no Need to pay DELNET like intermediator. Bc. DELNET charge courier and processing charges for any type of information/Documents. Delnet only play  role as  intermediator between instittutions and make profits in the form of Memberships fee and other charges. Delnet only have union catalogue and other databases which link on DELNET website actually free for all or in Public Domain. So no need to pat fee to DELNET and if you need information kindly approached directly to concerned Institutions.

Dear Mr. Srinivas Rao,

the DELNET rate is not increased. there are two parts in subscription. first part Rs.7500 and second part Rs.4000 i fyou need ILL facility from DELNET. the membership fee alone will not qualify for availing ILL facility.  but unfortunately, members will not realise that cannot use ILL with Rs.7500/. They   pay membership fee and get surprised when they are not able to get ILL service and blame them for the same.

of late, DELNET migh have found increasing number of requests for ILL from memebrs who have paid only membership fee. this might have prompted DELNET for including ILL charge also in membership fee. I have not experienced any such incidence as we are paying Rs.11500 for past several years and getting benefit of ILL extensively. we are also reciprocating to thier ILL requests.
