Emergence of electronic information has changed modes of communication,
information demands of users and information management system in the
libraries. Innovation in the field of information and communication
technology is boosting research and development activities all around the
world. Earlier libraries were facing various problems for managing print
documents rescued by the electronic resources. The consortia initiatives
are mushrooming in the world rapidly. UGC-Infonet: E-Journals Consortium
launched by the University Grants Commission (UGC) through Information
and Library Network (INFLIBNET) Centre is considered one of the best
consortium models in the globe. The consortium is subscribing thousands
of fulltext electronic journals and databases and making them available
online to 120+ universities of the country. A notable usage of electronic
resources has been observed in the first three years of operation of the
consortium. But millions of articles downloaded by the member universities
are not being re-managed for further use. Through this paper an attempt is
made to lay emphasis on an urgent need to manage downloaded scholarly
e-contents with the help of various e-documents management software
(OSS) keeping in mind the copyright limitations. |
