1. Welcome INDEST- AICTE Consortium Dr. Bibhuti Bhusan Sahoo

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. 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

23. Joint project of INDEST-AICTE & INFLIBNET under NMEICT (N-LIST) The Programme of subscription of e-resources (NME- ICT) 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 UGC- INFONET resources for technical institutions, and – Access to selected e-resources to colleges.

24. 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 Joint project of INDEST-AICTE & INFLIBNET under NMEICT (N-LIST)

25. Usage of E-resources 19-May-1525

26. 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

27. 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

28. 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

29. 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?

30. Without Automation 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

36. Review of Current E-Resources.

42. 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

47. 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

48. 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

49. Price Rise by Publishers The price rise per year, in general, is 8- 12% 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.

50. 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.

51. 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.

52. 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

53. 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 19-May-1553
