In some colleges, library subscription of e-journals and database are used only by a very few staff and students. How to make better usage? Please suggest.

Reason of low use of e-journals and databases.

a) Library are lacking behind in marketing and management of e-journals.

b) Faculty does not promote the usage of e-journals by students.

c) Most of the institutes are occupied by staff who are quite old and are not accustom with the e-journals and databases.

How to overcome?

a) Try federated search technologies, integrate e-journals in library website, market the e-journals by email , facebook, twitter to the students and faculties.

b) Ask faculties to give assignment that demand the use of e-journals or current information.

c) Just keep watching. Time will definitely change.

Dear sir,

First of all,there should be a  library hour for the students in order to make utilize of the e-journals.

with regards,

Are u subscribing the e-journals from N-list or directly from the publishers. If it is directly from the publisher then In my viewpoint if u are providing the accessibility through IP based where students can access  the e-journals only from the respective Campuses. Since  students may be very much busy in their schedule classes and library may be be open only during office hrs. So, in that case one case use E-Z proxy model. Ask the publishers whether it can provide subscription on E-Z Proxy or not. Here students can access the resources even from their home.

in my college students are submitting their seminar papers compulsory have a e journal reference

Virtual Private Network (VPN) can be used to access e-journals from home. It  may be implemented in Juniper UTM through JunOs software.
