Why subscribe to online journals when it is not used by the users?
These days many institute subscribe to lots of journals, but they are not used even by a single reader. The institute only subscribe to those journals to fullfill the requirement of the AICTE. What other facility can be started instead of spending money in subscribing to those online journals?

Points are mentioned below.
1- Sometimes institute/academic organization buying the e-journals database to get place in better ranking in the world they don’t care if no one can use resources which they subscribe for her/his students
2- This plays a vital role in increasing the resources to in hence like knowledge in academic organizations and also contribute in the area of research.
3- The basic purpose of buying journal to disseminate quality in knowledge in to the students and people associate in academic & society.
4- To provide remote access simultaneously use by more than one user timely access searching.
