The International Nuclear Information System (INIS) is the world\u2019s leading information system on the peaceful uses of nuclear science and technology. INIS is operated by the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) Vienna started functioning in 1970. INIS covers all aspects of the peaceful uses of nuclear science and technology, from nuclear reactors, reactor safety and nuclear fusion to applications of radiation and radioisotopes in medicine, agriculture or industry. Many other related topics, like environmental, legal and social aspects associated with nuclear energy, as well as economic and environmental aspects of non- nuclear energy sources are also covered.<\/p>\r\n \r\n

INIS maintains, in co-operation with its members, a database with currently over 3.3 million bibliographic references and a collection of 300,000 unique full-text publications, which has been in operation since 1970 with127 countries and 24 international organizations are INIS Members at present.<\/p>\r\n \r\n

INIS is not only having conventional literature which is commercially available through regular distribution channels, such as books and magazines, INIS also makes available other forms of literature such as scientific and technical reports, patent documentation, conference proceedings, doctoral thesis and some legal documents, commonly referred to as non- conventional or grey literature and which are difficult to obtain elsewhere. The INIS collection is freely available online since April 2009, providing easy access to \u00a0reliable nuclear information on the peaceful uses of nuclear science and technology, and making nuclear knowledge readily available worldwide.<\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\n2.\u00a0 History<\/strong>\r\n\r\n \r\n

INIS represents a wealth of experience and an extensive pool of information in the nuclear field. The first INIS output products, the printed Atom index and associated magnetic tapes, were issued in April 1970. INIS has since grown into one of the most successful and comprehensive information systems on the peaceful uses of nuclear science and technology.<\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The International Nuclear Information System (INIS)hosts one of the world's largest collections of published information on the peaceful uses of nuclear science and technology. It offers online access to a unique collection of non-conventional literature. INIS is operated by the IAEA in collaboration with over 150 members.<\/p>\r\n \r\n

The International Nuclear Information System (INIS) is a decentralized information system operated by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Vienna, Austria in co- operation with its Member States and co-operating international organizations. It is the world\u00b4s leading information system on the peaceful uses of nuclear science and technology. INIS maintains a database of over 3 million bibliographic references and announces the availability of scientific literature published world-wide on the peaceful uses of nuclear energy. It also maintains a collection of full text documents that would be difficult to obtain elsewhere.<\/p>\r\n \r\n

3.\u00a0 1 INIS Restructuring<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\r\n \r\n

The Director General of the IAEA approved the overall restructuring of the Department of Nuclear Energy (NE) on 20 January 2012. This included the creation of the Nuclear Information Section (NIS) and the establishment of a separate Nuclear Knowledge Management Section.<\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\nThe newly created Nuclear Information Section consists of:\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 INIS Unit\r\n\r\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 IAEA Library Unit\r\n\r\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Systems Development and Support Group\r\n\r\n \r\n

This restructuring and creation of NIS provides an opportunity for further enhancement of existing information products and services, and the introduction of new ones - all geared towards the goal of higher organizational efficiency and effectiveness.<\/p>\r\n \r\n

4.\u00a0 INIS Collection<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\r\n \r\n

Participants of the INIS comprise member states of the IAEA and some international organisation.

    1.\u00a0 Introduction<\/strong><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    The International Nuclear Information System (INIS) is the world\u2019s leading information system on the peaceful uses of nuclear science and technology. INIS is operated by the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) Vienna started functioning in 1970. INIS covers all aspects of the peaceful uses of nuclear science and technology, from nuclear reactors, reactor safety and nuclear fusion to applications of radiation and radioisotopes in medicine, agriculture or industry. Many other related topics, like environmental, legal and social aspects associated with nuclear energy, as well as economic and environmental aspects of non- nuclear energy sources are also covered.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    INIS maintains, in co-operation with its members, a database with currently over 3.3 million bibliographic references and a collection of 300,000 unique full-text publications, which has been in operation since 1970 with127 countries and 24 international organizations are INIS Members at present.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    INIS is not only having conventional literature which is commercially available through regular distribution channels, such as books and magazines, INIS also makes available other forms of literature such as scientific and technical reports, patent documentation, conference proceedings, doctoral thesis and some legal documents, commonly referred to as non- conventional or grey literature and which are difficult to obtain elsewhere. The INIS collection is freely available online since April 2009, providing easy access to \u00a0reliable nuclear information on the peaceful uses of nuclear science and technology, and making nuclear knowledge readily available worldwide.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    2.\u00a0 History<\/strong><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    INIS represents a wealth of experience and an extensive pool of information in the nuclear field. The first INIS output products, the printed Atom index and associated magnetic tapes, were issued in April 1970. INIS has since grown into one of the most successful and comprehensive information systems on the peaceful uses of nuclear science and technology.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    INIS is the world\u00b4s leading information system on the peaceful uses of nuclear science and technology. INIS maintains a database of over 3.3 million bibliographic references and announces the availability of scientific literature published world-wide on the peaceful uses of nuclear energy. It also maintains a collection of full text documents that would be difficult to obtain elsewhere. Currently the INIS database on Internet contains over 3.3 million bibliographic references. Bibliographic metadata is often supplemented by an English abstract. Full-text documents represent around 10% of the collection. This unique set of non- conventional or grey literature is also fully searchable. INIS offers news and information, such as special events, presentations, training, newsletters or information materials, from INIS Centres around the world.<\/p>\n
