- Slide 23
- IRN GoudarUGC-Infonet-EJC 30 Nov 2004 Users Point of View Where
do I look for Information? How do I obtain the actual materials?
How do I get accurate answer? How do I compare lists of results?
How do I navigate to related resources? How do I make a query?
- Slide 24
- IRN GoudarUGC-Infonet-EJC 30 Nov 2004 Users Perspective Dont
bother me with the details, just get me to the stuff I want
preferably online preferably NOW!
- Slide 25
- IRN GoudarUGC-Infonet-EJC 30 Nov 2004 Increased User
Expectations Greater visibility of new access options Increased
mobility of access Context-dependent retrieval options Online
access in demand even if it duplicates print holdings. Expanded,
seamless access/ interlinked resources.
- Slide 26
- IRN GoudarUGC-Infonet-EJC 30 Nov 2004 Print vs. Electronic
Journal Collections Print Journal Collections: Holdings under one
title and usually in one location. Access is usually the same for
affiliated and non-affiliated users. Holdings tend to be very
stable. Electronic Journal Collections: Holdings may be distributed
over several different publisher sites even though the title
remained the same. Duplicate holdings often with differences in
content/options. Holdings tend to be more fluid. Reasons: License
price changes, aggregator content changes, etc.
- Slide 27
- IRN GoudarUGC-Infonet-EJC 30 Nov 2004 E-only No handling of
print No binding of journals Less storage space required User
satisfaction Seamless, one-stop access Individualised for the
student Flexible for the teacher Universally accessible Easy to
use
- Slide 28
- IRN GoudarUGC-Infonet-EJC 30 Nov 2004 Variety of E-Resources
E-journals / e-serials Citation databases Full-text article
databases Non-serial content such as e-books, government documents,
numeric datasets, spatial data, eprints, images, audio, video,
websites, etc. Content manipulation tools.
- Slide 29
- IRN GoudarUGC-Infonet-EJC 30 Nov 2004 Present Availability of
Periodicals Until some years ago, University libraries subscribed
to a fair number of journals in different disciplines. Now most
journals have become unaffordable because increase in grants have
not kept pace with increasing costs. Presently very few periodicals
are available even in major University libraries and
departments.
- Slide 30
- IRN GoudarUGC-Infonet-EJC 30 Nov 2004 E-Availability A huge
number of periodicals are now available in databases and can be
accessed over the internet. There is now an increasing presence of
computers in Universities and Colleges. Access to the internet,
with reasonable bandwidth, is now available on some campuses.
Initiative by the UGC/INFLIBNET, resulted in a sharp increase in
access to e-resources.

Programme Provide one point E-subscriptions to all important
journals for the entire University community
- Slide 34
- IRN GoudarUGC-Infonet-EJC 30 Nov 2004 The UGC Model
Universities have a poor subscription base. Traditional consortium
models therefore do not apply. Electronic access only models are
being considered. These should prove to be attractive to users as
well as suppliers. This stream will allow suppliers to tap revenue
which exists but is presently inaccessible, through a couple of
hundred universities and thousands of colleges.

perpetual access after cancellation In / out of journals in
aggregator databases Embargo period Poor image / graphic quality

e-journals Pros Desktop access Faster access E-pub ahead of print

time Cons No shelf browsing Quality of graphics Missing articles
Missing supplements Dead links to articles/issues Publishers site
unavailable
- Slide 42
- IRN GoudarUGC-Infonet-EJC 30 Nov 2004 Criteria for E-Only
Journals Completeness Does the electronic version include the full
cover-to-cover content of the print version excluding advertising?
Quality, ease of use, timeliness, and reliability of online access.
Does the full-text version offer fast and convenient access to
full-text in pdf and html, or at minimum- pdf only? Is the
electronic version reliably available before the print edition?
Does the publisher have a good reputation for ensuring
around-the-clock access? Cost Is the price of a license
commensurate with the need for the journal? Use data for print and
electronic version are available for most journals provided.
- Slide 43
- IRN GoudarUGC-Infonet-EJC 30 Nov 2004 Contd Criteria for E-Only
Journals Access for all Campus users The online access license must
be broad enough to cover all on- campus users. Off-site access is
also an important consideration. Backfile access and archiving
policy Does the online license include a sufficiently large archive
to meet most user needs? Is continued backfile access included or
offered at a reasonable cost? Publishers commitment to sustainable
and accepted pricing models Some publishers pricing models impose
access limits that undercut the usefulness of the electronic
version, e.g. a restrictive license terms that lead to access
problems for users at times of high demand.
- Slide 44
- IRN GoudarUGC-Infonet-EJC 30 Nov 2004 How do we promote the use
of E-journals? All e-journals are being catalogued E-journal title
list and subject list E-portal link to Library resources User
education / Online user guide Alert service SFX provides links
between citation and e- journals
- Slide 45

- Slide 47
- IRN GoudarUGC-Infonet-EJC 30 Nov 2004 Promoting your resources
Take advantage of free trial access Buy-in from senior management
Attend curriculum meetings Develop close relationships with
curriculum staff Post articles/notices on the Intranet and internal
newsletters Run training sessions for staff and students Ensure
that access to those resources is widely available to reach the
maximum audience possible
- Slide 48

Use available marketing materials and / or create your own Send
emails to groups of students (and staff if possible) Have drop in
sessions during lunch-times Understand and exploit the potential
uses of e-resources
- Slide 49
- IRN GoudarUGC-Infonet-EJC 30 Nov 2004 Changing roles of
librarians How do we perceive ourselves? Custodians? Resource
providers? Knowledge experts? Service providers? Communicators and
intermediaries
- Slide 50
- IRN GoudarUGC-Infonet-EJC 30 Nov 2004 Who uses e-resources the
most? men use more than women, are more willing to cancel print
versions young (under 35 years of age) use more than older and are
more willing to cancel print versions post-graduate students and
researchers use more than lecturers and professors
- Slide 51
- IRN GoudarUGC-Infonet-EJC 30 Nov 2004 Which disciplines use
most e-resources? use is high: science, economics use varies:
technology, health science use is low: humanities, culture, social

Extra Access to all titles of publishers for little surcharge Multi
year agreements with fixed annual price cap Users happy Wider
access Publishers happy Guaranteed revenue, greater visibility of
titles But what about non-major publishers? Discount on multiple
print copies
- Slide 77
- IRN GoudarUGC-Infonet-EJC 30 Nov 2004 Lack of awareness about
consortia benefits Slow acceptance of e-information by the users.
Difficulties in changing the mind setup of librarians Maintenance
and balancing both physical and digital library Inadequate funds
Single point payment Rigid administrative, financial and auditing
rules Problems of defining asset against payment Pay-Per-View not
yet acceptable Uncertainty about the persistence of digital
resources. Lack of infrastructure for accessing electronic sources
Unreliable telecommunication links and insufficient bandwidth Lack
of appropriate bibliographic tools Lack of trained personnel for
handling new technologies Absence of strong professional
association Big brother attitude Consortia Constraints Specific to
Indian Libraries

- IRN GoudarUGC-Infonet-EJC 30 Nov 2004 Man can live
individually, but can survive only collectively. Hence, our
challenge is to form a progressive community by balancing the
interests of the individual and that of the society. To meet this
we need to develop a value system where people accept modest
sacrifices for the common good From Vedas As quoted by Mr.
Narayanamurthy (IFOSYS)
