e-j Portal

MCA e-j portal

The Page for the YMCA e-j portal should provide separate links for the J-Gate and the World Public Library Online. Each of these is to be User Id and Password controlled and therefore interactive dialogue boxes should be given, besides the instructions for accessing each of the databases.

“On 01 April 2011 the YMCA Library & e-Learning Centre has embarked on a new phase in its pursuit of the Virtual Library experience for its customers. The YMCA e-j portal was opened in January 2010 with provision for online access to the J-Gate databases of M/s Informatics India, Bangalore, containing 26,000+ e-journals with Table of Contents of every journal issue in the archives, and high quality abstracts of all articles/papers (numbering over 33 million). In the current year we have added a new feature to our e-j portal, namely online access to the internationally popular World Public Library Online (WPL) which in turn is a vast repository of over 2.2 million e-books / e- Documents from about 100 live languages of the world. Each e-Book / e-Document has been digitally re-mastered and optimized for the Virtual Library users. Members of our library will be able to gain complete access to the Full Texts to search, view, read, and even down load for personal use, any material from the WPL’s growing collection. The high quality PDF e-Books and MP3 audio books in the WPL include classic works of literature, sciences, technology, serials, bibliographies and other reference works that serve as the perfect resource to support and strengthen research, education and learning for any individual.

Thus the YMCA e-j portal is now a unique Gateway to over 30 million abstracts of research papers in the J-Gate and Full Texts of more than 2 million e-Books in the WPL for our members from their own privacy without visiting any library. Our members can access both the databases,
24 hours a day, 7 days a week, from their home, workplace, or while on travel”.
