About Us :-
HotLib’s establishment is driven by the core objective of fostering resource sharing among institute members through the creation of a robust network. This initiative aims to streamline the collection, storage, and dissemination of information, while simultaneously providing modern, computerized internet services to its institute member users. Beyond simple access, HotLib seeks to coordinate efforts for efficient collection development across participating libraries, thereby reducing unnecessary duplication of resources and optimizing their overall value.
OUR VISION
To ignite minds and empower knowledge discovery by creating a seamlessly interconnected global network of libraries, making information universally accessible and fostering a collaborative ecosystem for learning and research.
OUR MISSION
HotLib is committed to promoting resource sharing and collaborative collection development among member libraries by leveraging innovative technology to collect, store, and disseminate information efficiently. We strive to provide a single-window, feature-rich discovery layer that offers comprehensive, networked library services, reduces duplication, and empowers faculty, researchers, scholars, and students with easy access to a vast array of knowledge resources.
CORE VALUES
Access: HotLib fundamentally believes in universal and equitable access to information and knowledge. This means breaking down barriers to resources for all affiliated faculty, researchers, scholars, and students, regardless of their specific location or the individual holdings of their institute’s library.
Collaboration: At its heart, HotLib is built on the principle of partnership. It values fostering strong relationships among Institute Member-Libraries, coordinating efforts for collection development, and facilitating inter-library resource sharing to create a stronger, more comprehensive network than any single library could achieve alone.
Innovation: HotLib is committed to leveraging and researching cutting-edge information science and technology. It values continuous improvement, adapting to evolving user needs, and providing a feature-rich, user-friendly discovery environment that stays at the forefront of digital library services.
Efficiency: HotLib strives for optimal resource utilization. It values reducing unnecessary duplication of materials, streamlining information management processes, and providing cost-effective solutions that maximize the value derived from shared resources for all members.
Empowerment: HotLib aims to empower its users (faculty, researchers, scholars, students) by providing them with the tools and access to vast knowledge resources. It values enabling deeper research, broader learning, and ultimately, igniting intellectual curiosity and growth.
Integrity: As an information source, HotLib upholds the highest standards of data accuracy, reliability, and security. It values trust and transparency in its operations and in the information it disseminates.
