Introduction The “Indian National Digital Library in Engineering Sciences and Technology (INDEST)

Consortium” was set up in 2003 by the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) on the recommendation of an Expert Group appointed by the Ministry. The IIT Delhi has been designated as the Consortium Headquarters to coordinate its activities. The Consortium was re-named as INDEST-AICTE Consortium in December 2005 with the AICTE playing a pivotal role in enrolling its approved engineering colleges and institutions as members of the Consortium for selected e-resources at much lower rates of subscription. The Consortium enrolls engineering and technological institutions as its members and subscribe to electronic resources for them at discounted rates of subscription and favourable terms and conditions. The Ministry provides funds required for subscription to electronic resources for 62 centrally-funded Government institutions including IITs, IISc Bangalore, NITs, ISM, IIITs, IIMs, NITTTR’s and few other

institutions that are considered as core members of the Consortium. The benefit of consortia-based subscription to electronic resources is not confined to its core members but is also extended to all educational institutions under its open-ended proposition. 60 Govt./Govt.-aided engineering colleges are provided access to selected electronic resources with financial support from the AICTE and 102 univeristies/institutions have joined the Consortium under its self-supported category in 2012. The total number of members in the Consortium has now grown to 1235. The INDEST-AICTE Consortium is the most ambitious initiative taken so far in the country. It is the biggest Consortium in terms of number of member institutions in Asia. The Consortium attracts the best possible price and terms of agreement from the publishers on the basis of strength of its present and prospective member institutions. The Consortium subscribes to over 12,000 electronic journals from a number of publishers and aggregators. The consortium website at http://paniit.iitd.ac.in/indest hosts searchable databases of journals and member institutions to locate journals subscribed by the Consortium, their URLs and details of member institutions. Objectives The INDEST-AICTE Consortium has the following objectives: i) To subscribe electronic resources for the members of the Consortium at highly discounted

rates of subscription and at the best terms and conditions; ii) To extend the benefit of consortia-based subscription beyond the core members to other

engineering and technological institutions; iii) To impart training to the users and librarians in the member institutions on subscribed

electronic resources with an aim to optimise the usage of subscribed electronic resources; iv) To find more avenues of cooperation and interaction amongst member libraries; v) To increase scientific productivity of member institutions in terms of quality and quantity of

publications; vi) To help new engineering institutes and colleges to make the right choice of e- resources; and vii) To find more avenues of co-operation and interaction with other consortia. Governance The Consortium operates through its headquarters set up at the IIT Delhi under a National Steering Committee consisting of members from amongst beneficiary institutions under the Chairmanship of Director, IIT Delhi with Chairman, AICTE as its Co-Chair. A National Review Committee has also been 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.

Membership The INDEST-AICTE Consortium has the following three categories of Members: Core Member Institutions 62 centrally-funded Government institutions including IITs, IISc, NITs, ISM, IISERs, IIMs, NITTTRs, IIITs and few other institutions 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 the IIT Delhi. The Consortium has introduced few more centrally-funded institutions as its core members. Members with Financial Support from the AICTE 60 Govt./Govt-aided institutions have become members of the Consortium with financial support from the AICTE. Appendix V lists AICTE supported institutions and e-resources subscribed for them. The AICTE is actively considering provision of access for selected e-resources to all Govt./Govt. aided institutions. Self-supported Engineering Colleges and Institutions The Consortium, being an open-ended proposition, invites AICTE approved and UGC-affiliated institutions to join hands with the leading engineering and technological institutions in India and share the benefits, it offers in terms of lower subscription rates and better terms of agreement with the publishers. 102 universities/institutions have joined the Consortium under its self-supported category The INDEST-AICTE Consortium website maintains a searchable database of its members with a browse interface to facilitate browsing by categories of members and list institutions state-wise. Selection of Electronic Resources

The electronic resources subscribed by the INDEST-AICTE Consortium were selected based on the following criteria: i) Well established multi-disciplinary resources with broad coverage were preferred over highly

specialized sources targeted to specialists; ii) The electronic resources already on subscription in the beneficiary institutions were preferred

over those which are not being used in any of the beneficiary institutions; iii) Resources that are “electronic only” were preferred over those that are print based unless

completely unavoidable; iv) Resources that are very important but highly cost intensive were preferred over those which

are less important or less used but low cost; and v) Resources where electronic versions are made available free on subscription to their print

versions were avoided as far as possible. The Expert Group appointed by the Ministry initially selected and evaluated the e-resources being subscribed by the Consortium. New electronic resources are added based on the demands from the member institutions after due evaluation and approval by the National Steering Committee.

Services and Activities The INDEST-AICTE Consortium is not just a buying club for electronic resources. Besides purchase of electronic resources, there are several other activities that the Consortium performs to achieve optimal utilization of electronic resources subscribed by it. Some of the important services and activities of the Consortium include: E-Resource Purchasing Co-operative subscription to electronic resources is the principal task of the INDEST-AICTE Consortium with focus on providing consortium wide access to electronic resources to support education and research in core subject areas of its members. The Consortium is responsible for carrying out negotiations with publishers and aggregators of electronic resources for getting better deals. It also negotiates terms of licenses and agreements with the publishers. The Consortium performs all functions including invoicing, receipt of payments, ordering and payment to publishers on behalf of its member institutions. Besides, the Consortium also coordinates with the funding agencies for release of payments for its core and AICTE supported members. The major terms of reference that the Consortium takes into consideration while negotiating with the publishers includes: i) Lowest rates of subscription for all member institutions; ii) Access to archival backfiles along with current subscription; iii) Archival backup or perpetual access to e-resources; iv) Cap on annual increase in rates of subscription; v) Print-independent (preferable) subscription to e-resources with deep discount on print; vi) Print-dependent subscription to e-resources with cap on annual increase in rates of

subscription to print; and vii) Better terms of license for access to e-resources. As part of the selection process of e-resources and for better pricing, terms of reference and for better understanding in purchasing the e-resources; the Consortium organized some of the following important meetings: i) The 2nd meeting of the Joint Negotiation Committee (INDEST-AICTE Consortium and

UGC-INFONET DL Consortium) constituted by the Chairman, National Steering Committee, INDEST-AICTE Consortium for subscription of e-resources under PILOT JOINT (INDEST) INFONET (MI00653) was held on 19th April 2011 in the Seminar Room, Central Library, IIT Delhi.

ii) The meeting of the Purchase Finalization Committee for subscription to e-resources under the INDEST-AICTE Consortium was held on 7th December 2011 in the Seminar Room, Central Library, IIT Delhi.

Resource Sharing As INDEST-AICTE Consortium does not subscribe to all resources for all its members, the document delivery and inter-library loan is, therefore, crucial to the success of the Consortium. The J-Gate Custom Content for Consortium (JCCC), designed specially for the Consortium, provides content-level access to all the electronic journals subscribed by all IITs, IISc and IIMs (14 institutions) by the Consortium or by these institutions individually. Besides IITs, IISc and IIMs, the JCCC is made accessible to all other core members of the Consortium including New IITs, IISERs, NITs, SLIET, ISM, NERIST, IIITs and NITIE. The service facilitates generation of automated inter-library loan requests directly by a user to one of the IITs, IISc and IIMs. While all requests for articles subscribed by the INDEST-AICTE Consortium are routed to IIT Delhi (Consortium Headquarters), requests for e-resources subscribed by individual IITs, IISc and IIMs are routed to the respective institution(s). The Consortium headquarters maintain statistics of transactions done through the JCCC. Training of Users and Library Staff The INDEST-AICTE Consortium has signed tripartite agreements with the publishers of electronic resources and with their local vendors as third party responsible for providing training on resources at various member institutions. All institutions have been requested to take benefit of this arrangement and organize training programmes on various resources within their institutions. The INDEST-AICTE Consortium holds extensive training programmes for the benefit of Library staff members from various institutions. Besides, all IITs, IISc, IIMs and NITs have also been assigned the task to conduct training programmes on themes decided by the National Steering Committee at regional level/national level. The Consortium organized following training programmes/Seminars/Workshops during the year under report: i) Workshop on Web of Science, April 20, 2012, Central Library, IIT Delhi ii) Workshop on Tips and Tricks in effective use of IEEE Xplore, March 15, 2012, IIT Delhi iii) Workshop on Euromonitor International- Passport GMID, March 15, 2012, IIT Delhi iv) Presentation/Workshop on Social Science Citation Index and Journal Citation Report (JCR-

Social Sciences), January 6, 2012, IIT Delhi v) Workshop on COMSOL Multiphysics Modeling, January 5, 2012, IIT Delhi vi) Seminar/Workshop on Indian Citation Index & IndianJournals.com, December 5, 2011, IIT

Delhi

Technology Support to Member Institutions

INDEST-AICTE Consortium has geared itself to provide consultancy services to its member institutions, especially NITs in library computerization, digitization and in the development of computer and network infrastructure. Shared Technology Systems As a subscriber to multiple number of electronic resources, the INDEST-AICTE Consortium is considering technology that enables federated searching of resources across all subscribed resources. The Consortium is currently evaluating commercial and open source technological options that are available in the market place. Consortium is also helping the member institutions to develop and maintain the digital library.

Joint Archives and Storage Facilities Establishing archival centres for electronic resources subscribed through the INDEST-AICTE Consortium has been identified as one of the important activities. The Consortium is planning to establish archival centres for different resources at different institutions. Shared Core Collection

Besides subscription to full-text electronic resources and bibliographic databases, the INDEST-AICTE Consortium has purchased selected electronic backfiles of journals from Elsevier Science, Springer and Wiley InterScience and is considering purchase of electronic books and reference sources. Some of the publishers offer e-books wherein each member of the consortium may buy a definite number of e-books and all its members may share them. The Consortium has considered such acquisitions given the fact that the purchase of electronic backfiles of journals and e-books through above mentioned publishers provides for one-time payment, outright purchase and their cross sharing. The metadata of backfiles of e-journals purchased by the Consortium may be made available through JCCC to encourage resource sharing amongst its members. The INDEST-AICTE Consortium has agreements with most of the publishers to supply their data on CD ROM on completion of a year. Most publishers have provided the backup CDs. Under the agreement reached with ACM Digital Library, the Consortium now hosts ACM Digital Library at IIT Delhi, which has been made accessible to all its subscribing members. INDEST Extended The INDEST-AICTE Consortium has taken up activities that are not associated either with the purchase of electronic resources or their usage but with completely different activities that require collaborative efforts where the Consortium with its infrastructure can act as a catalyst. The Consortium is taking up additional activities related to content creation under a new MHRD initiative named as “INDEST Extended”. Some of the important activities that the Consortium is

taking up in addition to its existing activities are: i) Setting up Interoperable Repositories for Electronic Submission of Theses and Dissertations; ii) Institutional Repositories for all Consortium Members; iii) Manual of Procedures for Management of Libraries and Information Centres of INDEST-

AICTE Member Institutions; iv) Development of search engine for searching the fulltext of e-resources subscribed by the

INDEST-AICTE Consortium; v) Web-based Union Catalogue of Journals and other Serial Publications; vi) Web-based Union Catalogue of Books; and vii) Cooperative Cataloguing of Internet-based Electronic Resources Workshops on setting up the Institutional Repositories were organized at the IISc Bangalore in 2004 and at IIM Kozhikode in 2006. The Consortium sponspored for the organization of such workshops in 2007 and 2008 at ISI Kolkata and IIT Roorkee, respectively. All participants were requested to establish institutional repositories in their respective institutions. Directors of these institutions were requested to provide infrastructural facilities required for setting up institutional repositories. As a result of persistent follow up, a number of institutions have already set up their e-print archives or are in the process of accomplishing it. The Consortium website provides link to institutional repositories set up by the member institutions.
