Welcome
INDEST- AICTE Consortium
Dr. Bibhuti Bhusan Sahoo
INDEST-AICTE Consortium
2000:
The idea of the creation of library consortia under the
aegis of MHRD.
2002:
Ministry decided to set-up the expert group for the
consortia –based subscription to electronic resources
for Technical Education System in India under the
chairmanship of Prof. N. Balakrishnan, IISc Bangalore.
2003:
The “Indian National Digital Library in Engineering
Sciences and Technology (INDEST) Consortium” was
set up.
Objectives
• To provide electronic resources for the Centrally Funded
and other academic institutions in Engineering, Science
and Technology at highly discounted rates;
• To support and impart training to the users and librarians
in the member institutions on subscribed electronic
resources with an aim to optimize the usage of
subscribed electronic resources;
• To improve scientific productivity of member institutions
in terms of quality and quantity of publications.
Administrative Structure
• Headquarter : IIT Delhi
• National Steering Committee (NSC) notified by MHRD:
Chairman: Director, IIT Delhi
Co-Chair: Chairman, AICTE
Members : from its core and self supported institutions.
Other members: Director (Technical Education), MHRD;
Representatives from the National
Knowledge Resource Consortium
(CSIR and DST) and DESIDOC; and
Member Secretary, AICTE.
• The committee is responsible for taking major policy
decisions as well as their execution.
• 2010: National Advisory Committee (NAC) was established
to advice NSC about various issues faced by the consortium.
• NAC helped in :
(a) rationalization of Elsevier subscription based on the
usage for core I member institutions,
(b) subscription model of Elsevier for NITs, new IITs, IISERs
and other core institutions.
(c) e-resources selection, review of e-resources, and
subscription of e-resources for engineering colleges.
(d) in the decision making of the NSC for new model for NITs
• The feedback of individual institutions played a key role in
decision making and helps the consortium in negotiating the
terms with the publishers.
• A negotiation committee is also established by the
National Steering Committee (NSC), to negotiate the
terms, conditions and price of e-resources.
• The consortium involves the coordinators of all other
major national consortia for the negotiation as well as the
NSC meeting to have a common understanding of terms,
conditions and price of e-resources.
• A National Review Committee was set up under the
Chairmanship of Joint Secretary (Technical Education)
with an overall responsibility for making policies,
monitoring the progress, coordinating with UGC and
AICTE for promoting the activities of the Consortium.
Core members
• All centrally funded Technical Institutions (CFTI)
including IITs, IISc, ISM, IISERs, NITs, SLIET,
NERIST, IIMs, NITIE, NITTTRs, IIITs and NIFFT
etc are core members of the Consortium.
• The Ministry provides funds required for providing
differential access to electronic resources for its
core members through the Consortium
Headquarters at IIT Delhi.
• In 2003, the number of core members was 37.
• In 2009, the number increased to 42 with
addition of IISERs.
• Now the total number has increased to 65
with addition of new IIMs. 10 new NITs may
be included
• The consortium makes continuous effort to
include all the centrally funded technical
institutions

• The Programme of subscription of e-resources (NMEICT) is being jointly executed by the IIT Delhi and
INFLIBNET Centre and provide for :
– Cross subscription to e-resources
subscribed by the two Consortia, i.e.
subscription to INDEST-AICTE Consortium
resources for universities and UGCINFONET resources for technical
institutions, and
– Access to selected e-resources to colleges.
Joint project of INDEST-AICTE & INFLIBNET
under NMEICT (N-LIST)
Under this programme, INDEST-AICTE Consortium
offers following e-resources:
• 27 Nature titles for 34 Institutions (8 IITs/IISc, 5
IISERs, 8 New IITs, 13 selected NITs)
• Project Muse for 34 Institutions (8 IITs/IISc, 5 IISERs,
8 New IITs, 13 selected NITs)
• Annual Reviews for 34 Institutions (8 IITs/IISc, 5
IISERs, 8 New IITs, 13 selected NITs)
• Taylor & Francis for 21 Institutions (8 IITs/IISc, 5
IISERs, 8 New IITs)
• IEEE ASPP for 73 Government Engineering Colleges
• JSTOR ( all core institution) from Jan 2013
• Web of Science for 100 Universities
Usage of E-resources
9-Apr-15
25
Need for Usage Statistics
 Authors, publishers, and funding authorities, as
well as libraries, need to know whether or not
electronic resources are being used
 Low usage rates may indicate a resource that
needs better promotion.
 High usage is an indication of the value of a
resource to the library’s users.
 Usage statistics can also provide information to
help us to better understand users and their
information-seeking behavior and needs
Usage statistics provide essential evidence:
• to show how e-resources are being used
• to look at trends over time
• to inform renewal/cancellation decisions
• to demonstrate value for money
Why Collect Usage Statistics?
 justify funding applications,
 collection development decisions,
 de-accession and storage decisions, and
 cancellation decisions.
 Justifying Use of Financial Resources
 Making Best Use of Financial Resources
 Accountability
 Day-to-day Operational Decision (cancellation,
renewal, emerging subject disciplines, etc)
 Strategic Planning
 Comparison with Other Libraries / Institutions
Impact of E-Resources
•
Journals that are used heavily
•
Journals not being used at all
•
Number of Denials in case of limit of simultaneous usage
•
Preference for formats: PDF, HTML
•
Members that benefit most in consortium arrangements
•
Breach of license agreement: How to handle it?
• Library staff have to gather statistics manually
from many different publishers
• Each publisher has
– Different formats for data and delivery
– Different access methods
– Different availability dates
• Cost statistics need to be calculated separately
• Data needs to be cleaned up and aggregated
manually
• This can be a labor-intensive and cumbersome
process prone to data loss and errors

Impact of Access to E-Resources on
Research Output of Institutions
• SCOPUS were used as quantitative research output
based on citations received by them.
• The data was collected for all the core member
institutions from 1996 to 2011.
• The whole period was distributed in two parts.
One was before 2003 i.e., 1996 to 2002 and
another after 2003 i.e. from 2003 to 2011.
• The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR)
was calculated for both periods.
• The CAGR for all the core institutions was
presented in next slide
Compound Annual Growth Rate of number of publications of member
institutes before and After the inception of INDEST – AICTE Consortium

Issues and Challenges faced by
INDEST-AICTE Consortium
• Limited funding and increase in
number of institutions
• Price rise
• Maintenance of print base
• License agreement
• Archival access
• Usage of e-resources
• ILL
Funding and Increase in Number of
Member Institutions
• Funding from MHRD is not adequate
because number of core institutions have
increased substantially. These are
•
•
•
•
8 new IITs established
5 IISERs established
New IIMs added
New NITs added
Price Rise by Publishers
• The price rise per year, in general, is 812% for publishers in foreign currency but
we have a cap of 3-5% price rise.
• The fluctuation in the foreign currency has
impacted our budget in Indian rupees.
Maintenance of Print Base
• Publishers like Elsevier Science Direct,
Springer Verlag and others insist on
maintaining print base to the tune of
subscription amount at the time of joining of
the consortia.
• They charge additional 9-10 % for providing
electronic access.
License Agreement- Issues
• The License agreement is part of the primary
contract agreement.
Arbitration
Normally all publishers in case of any dispute put
a clause in the license agreement that the
litigation suit will be settled in the courts of their
own country. At this point of time, one has to
deliberate and insist on settling the issues in the
courts of our own country.
Archival Access
• Archival access issue should be very well defined
in the licensing agreement, for example:
• Whether CD will be provided on the termination of
the product or;
• Access to the subscribed product for the period of
subscription will be provided from their server site;
• Some mention about token amount to be charged
for archival access at the mutually agreed price
Consortium Future Plan
•
•
•
•
Add More E-Resources
Add more Institutions
Individual expenditure Vs Central funding
Choosing Discovery solution for all the
institutions
• Purchase of e-books
• Frame an archival policy of the e-resources
• Open access of e-journals
