AICTE Handbook 2015-16 regarding Library Norms for e-books
My I request you to clarify the points mentioned bellow.
In AICTE hand book 2015-16 page no.119, S.No.14. 25% of total number of titles and volumes each can be in the in the form of e-books.
My doubt is.
1. Can I show open source e-books here? (like bookboon, intech pub.)
2. How can I count e-books in volumes, by just creating multiple copies will it fulfill the norms?

No. you cannot. If that were true, then, donated books,books obtained on ex-gratia should form part of the remaining 75% collection!

sir
Entry of Donated books include in the main accession register.so the donated books also include in 75% collection.is it wrong?

They can definitely form a part of your collection. Nobody raises an objection to that as long as you are able to clearly tell the inspection committee the donated books from the main (purchased) books. You cannot show these as "procured" for the library as long as you have not paid for it. Also, if I am not wrong, as per AICTE guidelines, 7% of the total spending of the institution should be for the library. You can clearly see the reasons in my statement.

Multiple copies means if we purchase e-books publisher will give access for ex. 10 or 20 or 50 users access same book at a time like that how much we will take that much of users can access same book. I think may be on the basis of this we are able to show the multiple copies sir. If anybody knows more about this please share your views.
