Taking Part in the consortium Firstly, the institution should fill in a receipt and upload it to the DRAA portal Then, every participated member has to sign a purchasing agreement with ZhongKe I/E company （ the agency of PQDT full-text database in China ） After the payment, members can choose and submit dissertation and thesis orders to subscription system If the valid orders submitted by members did not reach the fixed number, the insufficient number will be selected and submitted by CALIS. Lastly, the whole full-text orders will be uploaded to CALIS and other two servers in China to be visited

20. Utilization Model "Unlimited cross access" Each end user can visit collections bought by their institutions and other participants It offers participants the right of permanent access to the full- texts bought by the consortium "cost savings” Each participant chooses a different collection and gathers them together to make the consortium having the most collections to be visited. CALIS is to make sure the Uniqueness of the record The consortium avoids the duplication of abundant collections and generates significant cost savings on holding selection

21. Long-term storage & permanent access Members will continue to have the right to visit the resources of the consortium they have participated whatever they join the next year’s purchasing activity or not Whether a member joins the consortium later or exits earlier, this member will obtain the rights of long-term storage and permanent access of the full-texts they ordered CALIS provides long-term storage and permanent access service to PQDT full-text database consortium As long as one purchased a fixed number of dissertations and theses according to some deals and shared with others, it is allowed to visit the resources subscribed by old members

22. Retrieval system Developed by ZhongKe I/E company The servers are deployed in three places
