7.2.4. Implementation Methodology

E-resources subscribed under e-Shodh Sindhu are being made accessible to universities and CFTIs on
their respective IPs. However, since most of the colleges registered under the NLIST Programme do not
have static IP addresses, access to e-resources based on IP filtering cannot be implemented for colleges.
Moreover, most of the publishers were reluctant to handle authentication of large number of users from

thousands of colleges who had to be given freedom to enrol themselves for the N-LIST Programme at
anytime during the year as well as during the project period.

As such, the INFLIBNET Centre has implemented EZ-Proxy from OCLC for authenticating registered.
Individual users from colleges can directly access and download articles from journals and chapters from
books directly from publisher’s website once they are duly authenticated as authorized users through
the authentication mechanism deployed at the INFLIBNET Centre. Moreover, INFLIBNET Centre has

also developed shibboleth based Access Management Federation (INFED) for providing seamless
access to e-resources subscribed through NLIST Programme from anywhere, anytime. The INFED has
already made agreements with 9 publishers for this service. More publishers will be joining INFED in
near future.
