Integrated Digital Library (IDL) We are pleased to introduce IIN digital library platform named Integrated Digital Library (IDL). Despite its very simple interface which was made so that even the most novice users can use it intuitively and without any particular training, IDL has a very sophisticated behind the scene system. It contains up to date information about over 25,000 electronic journals from different publishers in the world, their ranking, and their categorization, in addition to direct links to the actual journals and resources. The system is designed with students and professors, as well as librarians in mind. While a novice user who is confronted with thousands of journals and up to 150 years of back files can easily find his/her required journal, a more sophisticated one can do fine searching to get to a desired content. In any case a user is only at most 3 clicks away from the actual full text of journals and other resources. Login: IDL generally distinguishes your institute from your IP address. As you are interested in special subjects' areas, IDL provides you the facility to register yourself to have access to your preferred resources information while you are also able to switch to all institutional subscribed resources.
