FOREWORD

Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) is engaged in various Research Progrommes. As a research University it is engaged in research across broad range of disciplines, to develop knowledge and contribute to the economic growth and social development of the country. The main research programme at JNU includes Ph.D., M.Phil and M.Tech. etc. These research programs are conducted in 10 Schools, 4 Special Centres and Centres affiliated to various Schools such as School of Social Sciences, School of International Studies and School of Language, Literature and Culture Studies. Besides, JNU is also an institution of awarding degree to various research programmes conducted in JNU affiliated institutes. Since inception of JNU, over 22000 theses and dissertations have been contributed.

I joined JNU as University Librarian in October 2011. All theses and dissertations were kept in closed almirahs in different floors discipline-wise. Students were allowed to consult theses and dissertations within that room only. No issuing or photocopying was allowed. To provide access to such valuable resources following initiatives were under taken during 2012-14:

(i) All theses were reorganized from different floors to single floor subject-wise. (ii) Online cataloguing of all theses & dissertations was completed. (iii) With left-over funds in 11th 5-year Plan digitization of theses and dissertations was started.

Through INFLIBNET a grant of Rs.27.5 lakhs was arranged from UGC for digitization of all theses and dissertations. (iv) A MoU was signed with INFLIBNET Centre for uploading of Ph.D. theses under e-theses Repository Sodhganga with 3-years embargo period. (v) 5000+ digitized Ph.D. theses were provided to INFLIBNET Centre to upload on Shodhganga. (vi) Dr. B. R. Ambedkar Central Library subscribed to anti-plagiarism tools ? Turnitin and it was made mandatory that all theses and dissertations should be checked using Turnitin before submission. (vii) Dr. B. R. Ambedkar Central Library, JNU implemented electronic submission of theses and dissertations (no hardcopy archived). (viii) Theses and dissertations submission guidelines prepared and implemented at JNU. (ix) A Theses Tracking system for online submission of theses and dissertations with the help of CIS was developed and implemented.

(x) Various training programmes on "What is plagiarism: How to detect and how to avoid it" were organized for the faculty and students of JNU. Training programmes on reference management tools like, MENDELEY, ENDNOTE were started and continued. Besides, I am one of the members of the Committee formed by the Ministry of Human Resources Development, Govt. of India under UGC to draft Plagiarism Regulation 2017.

(xi) All 22000+ theses and dissertations have been uploaded on Integrated Library Management Software. At present all theses and dissertations of JNU can be accessed in electronic format by anyone in JNU;

(xii) Various author Workshops on "How to write and get it published" have been organized through the researchers of JNU, which have also been attended by researchers from other Universities;

(xiii) One national seminar, national training workshop, one international conference on Electronic Theses and Dissertations have been organized by Dr. B. R. Ambedkar Central Library, JNU;

(xiv) One national workshop on Plagiarism was organized in JNU. Over 50 workshops in JNU and in different Universities and colleges have been conducted by me for creating awareness on plagiarism.

So, from close access to open access to anytime anywhere access, Central Library has revolutionized the archiving and access to research contributions of researchers from JNU. Undoubtedly, DBRA Central Library, JNU is the first library in India to initiate all these initiatives and in many ways still the only University Library in India providing such a comprehensive programme to researchers. A number of new initiatives in this regard are being explored:

(a) setting up of Data Curation Centre; (b) Training on Research Data Management; (c) Facilities to help researchers in publishing their theses; (d) Organization of research e-Bazar to popularize research at JNU.

Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Central Library, JNU is committed to help faculty and researchers by engaging them in a partnership to enhance both quantity and quality of research. Although JNU online catalogue (WEBOPAC) is accessible from anywhere anytime to know the details of theses and dissertation, but

such comprehensive listing will help in analyzing the research done at JNU using different parameters. This list is also available online under Research Support link at JNU Library website in PDF format.

I take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks to Vice-Chancellor, Rectors, Registrar, Finance Officer, Controller of Examinations, Director CIS, all Deans of Schools and Chairpersons of Special Centres and Centres, all faculty and researchers, officers and Staff of JNU for their fullest cooperation and support in improving the library facilities, particularly, access to theses and dissertations. Thanks to Mr. Mahesh Chand, A.L.(SG), Mr. Amar Singh Yadav, Prof. Asstt. and other staff in ETD section for this tremendous work. I also take this opportunity to thank my entire library team for making Dr. B.R.Ambedkar Central Library as one of the bests in India and also providing the facilities at par with any best University Libraries of the world. I am sure, researchers will find it a useful tool and will also be happy to glance through it for different purposes. It will also be helpful to the budding researchers in selecting the topic for the research.

With best regards,

Yours sincerely,

(DR. RAMESH C. GAUR) UNIVERSITY LIBRARIAN
