Dear All Lis-forum readers, I fully agree with the points open for discussion in case of articles inedxing.Saiful presently I have not yet started the same in my Library (RBI, DESACS Bandra)because of the issues raised by you ,I am facing practically in my profession.Articles indexing is no doubt one of the best service in our profession but then it takes your complete devotion and keen knowledge in the subject which requires heavy reading and awareness and up date knowledge in the respective field.The solo Librarian couldnot offer this service to the users due to lack of human resource to input the proper and concise text.It would be better to opt for the subscription of such databases Libraries or corporates like Informatics, Dialog etc.Manjunath has given a good suggestion to index such journals only which are not included in internationaly published databases. Also I came across with one of the well known organization working for Articles indexing in Libsys but if you ask for a particular back dated article it may not be available immediately may be due to lack of proper maintenance.In India I think there is a lot of manpower and work assimilated but who cares? is the mentality.But yes there are people who devote to the profession like information providers, librarians and Dear Saiful we are one of them . As it is aopen discussion I opined it personnaly and for Articles Indexing We should be selective as per requirement of the organizational needs. Articles Indexing in Libsys is sucessfully working in Reserve Bank of India, Department of Economic Analysis & Computer Services, Library, 6th floor,Mumbai 400001 under the Librarianship of Dr D Kamalavijayan Chief Librarian. kshipra sardesai Saiful we met at DRTC Digital Library workshop and IASLIC 2005 at Grand Haytt , Santacruz.
