In India, engineering college libraries subscribe to many electronic resources through the Indian Digital Library of Engineering Science and Technology (INDEST) consortium.

Some colleges have subscribed to different resources from more than one publisher. The bundles of resources subscribed through INDEST have not fully supported all the courses offered by the institutions. It is revealed that the bibliographical databases for searching the literature in technological sciences were not subscribed to by any colleges participating in INDEST.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title><jats:p>The results of this study are useful for engineering college libraries to develop the collection of online journals in the digital era.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/07378831111189804","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,12,3]],"date-time":"2011-12-03T17:42:57Z","timestamp":1322934177000},"page":"741-750","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Whether big deals are really big for engineering college libraries?"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"29","author":[{"given":"Aragudige","family":"Nagaraja","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"K.C.","family":"Gangadhar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"M.","family":"Vasanthakumar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"key":"key2022021019430248700_b2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Bergstrom, T.C.
