Colleges that are covered under 12(B) & 2(f) Sections of the UGC Act and are under direct purview of UGC are entitled to get access to e-resources under NLIST programme except for Colleges imparting education in Agriculture, Engineering, Management, Medical, Pharmacy, Dentistry and Nursing. NLIST is college component of e-ShodhSindhu. NLIST subscribes to a sub-set of e-resources that are subscribed under e-ShodhSindhu. As such, Colleges that are already getting access to e-resources under NLIST do not require membership of e-ShodhSindhu.

The Project entitled "National Library and Information Services Infrastructure for Scholarly Content (N-LIST)", being jointly executed by the e-ShodhSindhu Consortium, INFLIBNET Centre and the INDEST-AICTE Consortium, IIT Delhi provides for
i) cross-subscription to e-resources subscribed by the two Consortia, i.e. subscription to INDEST-AICTE resources for universities and e-ShodhSindhu resources for technical institutions
ii) access to selected e-resources to colleges. The N-LIST project provides access to e-resources to students, researchers and faculty from colleges and other beneficiary institutions through server(s) installed at the INFLIBNET Centre. The authorized users from colleges can now access e-resources and download articles required by them directly from the publisher's website once they are duly authenticated as authorized users through servers deployed at the INFLIBNET Centre.
