Dear Ms. Sharma,

Thanks for your post. In India, the best organization for Environment literature is CSE (Centre for Science & Environment) at New Delhi. 

However, as you have not mentioned the nature of academia of your institute, it is a bit difficult to mention the publishers or Vendors.However, in case your institution is for advanced level Teaching & Research specifically on Scientific aspects of environmental Sciences, there are several Vendors in all the Metro Cities dealing with Scientific e-books.

Purchasing  directly from the publishers as suggested by Ms. Chitralekha Chitale is absolutely correct but then for discount purpose, you have to negotiate separately with individual publishers while the Vendors deal with multiple publishers simultaneously. So you have to bargain with one party only. Besides, each publisher have their particular focus so as I personally feel, you first discuss with your academic/research staff which publishers they prefer. as potential users they seem to be quite knowledgeable about who publish what. It is not unlikely that you may find that they are suggesting for specif titles irrespective of publishers. In that case, you may check the JSTOR (www.jstor.org) site. They deal with e-books as well. If their collection on Environmental Sciences suits your users' needs you may negotiate with them because, as I understand, they do not have any representative in India.

By the way, subscribing an e-book & outright purchasing one are two entirely different things. So, before finalizing, you MUST have a clear idea about which ones to be subscribed and which are to be purchased.

Sincerely,

Siddhartha S. Ray, Calcutta

thanks to everybody for the quality information.

Madam, would you require single eBooks from different publishers or a collection of eBooks on the same subject from one publisher?
