Abstract
The rapid development of the Internet during the 1990s has opened up a new possibility
where traditional print journals are being replaced by, or at least supplemented by, the
electronic journals. Low library budget and increasing cost of subscription are some of the
important factors for shift from print media to electronic one This paper discusses the role of
UGC-Infonet in promotion of E-journals in the country through E-journal consortium.
Highlights that the usage of E-journals is much below the expected target by the Universities
of North East which have been given access to E-journals. This has been supported by
usage statistics by these five universities.
