INDEST Consortium
INDEST Consortium: Genesis
Recommendations made at the “National Seminar on Knowledge Networking in Engineering & Technology Education and Research”, Dec. 1 – 2, 2000 at IIT Delhi;
Preliminary Proposal circulated to all IITs, IISc, REC and other engineering institutions, their suggestions were sought and incorporated;
MHRD Appointed the Expert Group in April 2002;
The Expert Group submitted its report in Sept., 2002;
INDEST Consortium was formed in Dec., 2002; and recommended resources were subscribed for 2003. Care was taken to avoid duplication of resources in member institutions.
Slide 2: Genesis
The proposal for consortia-based subscription to electronic resources was first discussed at length at the “National Seminar on Knowledge Networking in Engineering & Technology Education and Research” held at the IIT Delhi between December 1 and 2, 2000. On the recommendations of one of the work group of this Seminar, a preliminary proposal on consortia-based subscription to electronic resources was prepared and circulated to all IITs, IISc and RECs. On the basis of feedback obtained from these institutions, a revised draft proposal was prepared which encompassed other engineering colleges and institutions as beneficiary of this initiative. The Ministry, based on the last draft proposal, appointed an expert group to discuss elaborately on the e-resources with the publishers and aggregators and evolve a working model for execution of the consortium. The Expert Group appointed by the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), after contemplating facts and figures gathered by it on the subscription amount payable by the individual institutions and the consortium, was convinced that consortia-based subscription is the only alternative to increase the access to electronic resources across Institutions at a lower cost. The Expert Group submitted its report to the Ministry in Sept., 2002. The recommendations made by the Expert Group was accepted and implemented in Dec., 2002. All recommended electronic resources were subscribed for the year 2003 as per the recommendations made by the Expert Group.
INDEST Consortium
INDEST Consortium: Basic Model
The MHRD provides funds to the INDEST consortium:
• For subscription to electronic resources for institutes funded by it; and
• For operational cost of the Consortium.
Benefit of Consortia-based Subscription is passed on to other educational institutions. These institutions may subscribe on their own.
The member institutions may also subscribe to e-resources through the consortium that are not being paid for them by the MHRD.
Slide 3: INDEST Consortium: Basic Model
The funds provided by the MHRD to the INDEST consortium has the following two components:
1. Funds for subscription to electronic resources for various institutions as per their entitlements recommended by the Expert Group; and
2. Funds for operational cost of the Consortium.
Benefit of Consortia-based Subscription is also passed on to other educational institutions. These institutions can subscribe to all electronic resources at the rate applicable to the core members of the consortium. The member institutions may also subscribe to e-resources through the consortium that are not being paid for them by the MHRD.

Slide 26: J-Gate Custom Content for Consortium (JCCC)The J-Gate Custom Content for Consortium (JCCC) is a virtual library of journal literature created as customized e-journals access gateway and database solution for the INDEST consortium. It acts as one-point access to 4,000+ subscribed currently by all the IITs and IISc and available online. The service offers the following facilities and benefits to users.
Table of Contents Browsing: Users can select journals of their choice by searching by journal title words and/or subject categories and browse the table of contents for the latest issues of the journals.
Database Searching: JCCC@INDEST acts a comprehensive database of journal articles published in the journals subscribed by all IITs and IISc (about 4,000). The articles are indexed with subject keywords and are searchable by – Author, Title words, abstract words, subject keywords, Institutional name or city to which the author belongs to.
MyTOC: Users can select journals of their choice and create their own alert profiles. JCCC@INDEST sends e-mail notice to the users, every week and as and when their favorite journals are published, to facilitate browsing TOC of the latest issues.
Full-text Online: J-Gate provides link to full-text for online journals of the publishers for which the INDEST consortium has obtained online rights for accessing or the individual library has separately obtained online access rights for journals.
Resource Sharing: This is the unique benefit of JCCC@INDEST. When a user finds an article of his interest, he can get it online if the INDEST consortium or his library has online rights of access to the corresponding journal. This facility offers the following benefits:
If the journal is not subscribed by user’s library (say NIT, Surthkal) and is subscribe by another library (say IISc, Bangalore), an automated photocopy request goes to the library where the journal is available which is designated for supplying the article to the user. In this case, IISc, Bangalore sends a copy of the article to NIT, Surthkal.
Through JCCC, all NIT, RECs and other users can have access to the journals subscribed by all the IITs and IISc.

Slide 27: Archival Access
The electronic resources are accessible as long as they are subscribed. If an institution decides not to subscribe to a given electronic resource, it looses its right to access the e-resource even for the year for which the subscription is paid. The INDEST Consortium has taken steps to safeguard its interest in this regard. The following arrangements have been worked with the publishers for getting archival access to electronic resources:
Perpetual Access: License agreement has been signed for perpetual access to subscribed resource for the period for which subscription is paid, i.e. ScienceDirect;
Back-up on CD ROM: Back-up on CD is given during the year of subscription itself for archival access while the resource is also accessible on the Web, i.e. ABI / INFORM, ASTP and ACM Digital Library;
Back-up on CD ROM at the End of Subscription: Some publishers have agreed to provide all data (full-text or bibliographic) on CD ROM / DVD ROM if the Consortium decides to discontinue its subscription either against nominal payment or without payment, i.e. IEL Online, Springer’s Link, COMPENDEX, INSPEC, ASME and ASCE Journals;
Alternative Product at the End of Subscription: Chemical Abstracts has offered CA on CD at half the rate if the INDEST Consortium decides to end the subscription to SciFinder Scholar.

Expenditure AnalysisSlide 30: Expenditure Analysis
Most institutions, especially IITs and IISc, were already subscribing to several electronic resources proposed under the INDEST Consortium. While some of these resources are subscribed on CD ROM covering only a few years of data, the others are being subscribed with various limitations in terms of number of years covered or number of simultaneous accesses. No individual institutions could afford to subscribe to full spectrum of any electronic resource because of exorbitant cost involved. The table given below provides combined expenditure committed by the IITs and IITSc individually and the additional funds given to the INDEST Consortium for consortia-based subscription to e-resources for 38 core members.
Amount in Rs. %
1. Existing Expenditure 4,11,66,917.50 22.34
