J-gate collects the journal subscription information from all the document delivery centres and the articles published in open access journals to list them in their portal, so that they will be visible to all university users when they search for journal articles
Summary
Libraries and information centres are the primary source of information or documents to students, research scholars and faculty in universities. Technological advancements in information industry and libraries transformed the scenario of even document delivery services as the libraries are unable to meet the requirement of their library users with their limited resources. Patrons can initiate a request that will go immediately to the library that owns the item, effectively bypassing the interlibrary loan unit of the home library. These changes have increased the speed of process of making request/delivery of article and its receipt by the user; thereby productivity for library staff is increased and speedy service to the patron
