IIT Delhi, Central Library has bibliographical list of PhD theses since 1966
to current, which includes nearly 2000 records accessible through web.
The bibliographical database of IITB has nearly four thousand records
Vidyanidhi¡¯s multilingual database having 15,000 records in Hindi and 600
records in Kannada, more than 50,000 metadata of PhD, M.Phil, MA, M.Sc,
M Tech, ME, MD, M Com., MBA, MCA, MLIS, M.Ed., theses and

ETD initiatives in India
Scope and objectives
Although there is sizeable number of ETD digital libraries in India and
maintaining a steady growth but there is no single study undertaken which looks
into how digital libraries of ETDs is functioning, what are the constraints in the
process, and how it can be improved. It¡¯s an attempt to do a comparative study of
prominent digital libraries of ETDs with high level description of key aspects and
proposed a model for national repository.
The following two major points are discussed:
? A seamless ETD system for all universities/research institutions, which are
already member of national networks or consortia viz. INDEST, INFLIBNET as
well as libraries attached with colleges or small organizations with underdeveloped
ICT infrastructure, can join either as a data provider or simply access the e-theses
by paying membership fees.
? A model for national e-theses repository
10th International Symposium on Electronic Theses and Dissertations, Uppsala, Sweden.
Methodology and selection of sample
The research method used in this study is the triangulation of three
different methods (1) e-mail questionnaire (2) face to face interview
(3)content analysis of ETD websites
Some of the points used as a basis for the selection of digital
libraries for the evaluation are:
? The importance, relevance, credibility of the organization
hosting the digital library
? Type of collection and users
? The access facilities, submission policies and user interface
The Registry of Open Access Repositories (ROAR)/ Directory of Open
Access Repositories (OpenDOAR) were consulted but they do not
represent a complete picture of Indian ETD repositories as the
registration is not mandatory.

  • 5. Scope and objectives Although there is sizeable number of ETD digital libraries in India and maintaining a steady growth but there is no single study undertaken which looks into how digital libraries of ETDs is functioning, what are the constraints in the process, and how it can be improved. It¡¯s an attempt to do a comparative study of prominent digital libraries of ETDs with high level description of key aspects and proposed a model for national repository. The following two major points are discussed: ? A seamless ETD system for all universities/research institutions, which are already member of national networks or consortia viz. INDEST, INFLIBNET as well as libraries attached with colleges or small organizations with underdeveloped ICT infrastructure, can join either as a data provider or simply access the e-theses by paying membership fees. ?

Methodology and selection of sample The research method used in this study is the triangulation of three different methods (1) e-mail questionnaire (2) face to face interview (3)content analysis of ETD websites Some of the points used as a basis for the selection of digital libraries for the evaluation are: ? The importance, relevance, credibility of the organization hosting the digital library ? Type of collection and users ? The access facilities, submission policies and user interface The Registry of Open Access Repositories (ROAR)/ Directory of Open Access Repositories (OpenDOAR) were consulted but they do not represent a complete picture of Indian ETD repositories as the registration is not mandatory. 10th International Symposium on Electronic Theses and Dissertations, Uppsala, Sweden.
