This is precisely what JCC (J-Gate Custom Content) does -- providing 
customized article indexing service to libraries for the journals they 
subscribe, print or electronic.

Dear All,

It would be interesting to debate here if article indexing by
librarians/libraries is a viable option. Can we discuss on the following
points:

- Do the libraries have resources, time, and expertise to carry out such
work?
- Is it really cost-effective, even taking in view cheap labour costs in
India?
- Is it worth duplicating the effort of commercial vendors
(full-text/bibliographic databases) providing similar services?
- Can such effort be sustainable in the long run?

Footwear & Leather Abstracts (used to be published by CLRI, Chennai) was a
prime example of indexing effort of library, which was in high demand
internationally being a unique product. Unfortunately, it could not be
sustained. It would be encouraging to know if any other indexing effort by
libraries being successful anywhere in the world, especially, India.

Best regards,
Saiful
