A. E-journals shorten time spent on article retrieval or visiting the library.
B. More journals could be published because e-journals make accessing good quality papers faster and easier.
C. Information related to specific experimental processes through e-journals.
D. I exchanged (received or distributed) more journal articles with colleagues, because e-journals make distribution of articles easier and cost effective.
E. I became more organized in archiving papers by using e-journals, creating my own mini library.

5. Shortfall / Constraints
• Poor response from some Institutions for
updating Library Subscribed Journals
• Some institutions do not respond to DDR
system (although scientists/faculty avail the
facility)
• IVRI issue on continuation of subscription to
journals (as on 2009)
• Agreement with Publishers

i 6. Way Ahead
• To reach the unreached: CeRA caters to 142 institutions in NARS. However, we have about 600 KVKs and 640 research stations which need CeRA facilities. Necessary steps are to be taken to cover all organizations associated with agricultural activities.
• To enhance the spectrum of knowledge:NARS being among the largest network engaged in agriculture research, education and extension having about 1500 nodes spread across length and breadth of the country. CeRA to take every effort to spread latest scientific knowledge (through e-Resources) to these nodes.
• Incentives:As desired in Steering Committee, CeRA awards are to be implemented. This initiative would enhance better R and D output in NARS.
