The Indian National Digital Library in Science and Technology consortium, setup by the
Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India has currently over 140
institutions as members who are taking advantage of cost effective access of premier
resources in science, technology and management. Out of the different resources accessible
under this consortium, the present study selected four major resources, such as ACM Digital
Library, IEEE/IEE Electronic Library, ScienceDirect of Elsevier, and Springer Link to make
a comparative assessment of the key features and quantity of records in these. The results
identified are presented in tabular form. More exhaustive studies are further planned to
categorically identify the best resource to answer a crucial query and in identifying the
inherent benefits and limitations of each resource. |
