Abstract: This paper mainly traces the historical development of consortia based library services. States that the consortial approach in the form of cooperation was initiated by Melvil Dewey in 1880s. Main factors behind such cooperation are outlined. States that like any other form of library services consortia were also first came into existence in the United States where by the year 1970 more then 125 academic library consortia were functional. Finds that now the trend has changed and consortia are coming up in developing countries also mainly for the acquisition of electronic resources. Briefly touches the history of consortial development in India where it had not been very successful mainly due to human reasons. Describes in details the two recently formed consortia in India i.e. INDEST and E-journal Consortium of UGC Infonet. Describes the pros and cons of the present model of subscription to full set of journals of publishers in the form of so called “Big Deals” and advises that these big deals may not be really big in many cases. Outlines some of the guidelines for the librarians in these conditions. Concludes that the consortia in the country should work in close cooperation and not in competition to each other.

Abstract: In the Academic and research libraries, the long-term preservation and management of digital collections is the most important issue. In certain ways, digital materials are incredibly fragile, dependent for their continued utility upon technologies that undergo rapid and continual change. Keeping and managing the e-journal resources accessible for use by future generations will require conscious effort and continual investment. No library is self sufficient to purchase all the books, Journals and other library documents with in their library budget. So customers belonging to different academic institutions or university may purchase e-journals and sharing its cost through consortia. This paper explains the terms and definitions of Electronic Journals (e-journals), followed by the aims and objectives of the e-journal purchase and management. Also the issues in archiving and preserving the back issues of the e-journals, the initiatives taken in archiving them and the role of e-journal agents in purchasing and managing them are discussed. The purchase and management of e-journals through Consortia and the various consortium efforts taken in India with special reference to INDEST consortia also have been explained in this paper.

Abstract: Library consortia for purchasing electronic journals became recognized as a vital part of academic information infrastructure at the research community. The biggest challenge that newcomers to the consortium world face is grasping the fact that standard setting is about giving away rights in technology. Leading institutions in North America and Western Europe take a variety of positive measures to promote consortium activities and formed unique consortia of many kinds. On the other hand, a consortium in India is still in a developing stage and struggle to solve problems they face. The factors that have led to the development of consortia are diverse among countries. This paper describes definitions, aim, organizations, internal structures, policies and other characteristics of the UGC-Infonet E-Journal Consortium which is one of the well known consortia for Higher Education in India under the UGC. It will also highlight the characteristics and issues faced by the consortia and the measures taken up to promote consortium activities. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1407 Files in this item: 1
