The execution of the activities of the above action funding has been provided by INTAS. The funding provided includes the involvement of Armenia, Belarus, Moldova, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan in electronic document delivery and in enhancing skills in Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). The INTAS Library Action also provides cost-sharing to facilitate access to online full text journal databases.

Under the terms which INASP (and PERI) operates, all research institutes and libraries operating in a non-profit environment within Moldova are entitled to access to these resources.

For getting access to PERI recourses every interesting institution of Moldova have to register at INASP web-site. The online Information Resources available within PERI are published by a variety of publishers. Importantly, you must register your research institute or library with each of the publishers in order to gain access to each of the information resources you require.

To help coordinate the requirements and needs of all institutes, INASP is working with a Country Coordinator for Moldova, Dr. Peter Bogatencov (contact details below).
