ADINET was established in 1994 as a network of libraries in Gujarat, India to enable resource sharing and dissemination of information among libraries. Its goals are to connect libraries electronically, provide access to library collections, and offer library services and training. ADINET organizes professional development programs, celebrations, lectures and discussion forums. It provides services like an electronic discussion list, current awareness bulletins and a virtual reference service. ADINET also works on projects like a union catalog of periodicals and identity initiatives to raise the profile of librarians.
