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.
