English abstract

The present paper evaluates the contribution of ETDs by State Universities in Maharashtra in India‟s ETD Database Shodhganga. Shodhganga is the flagship project of INFLIBNET, Ahmedabad which provides open access to theses and dissertations through the repository. As per the present study there are 12 State Universities in Maharashtra providing degrees in non-technical fields in Arts & Humanities, Science and Commerce. Out of these 12 universities, 11 have signed MoU for Shodhganga and only 08 universities shave contributed 181 ETDs in Library & Information Science in Shodhganga. SavitribaiPhule Pune University (Pune), Dr.BabasahebAmbedkarMarathwada University(Aurangabad) and SNDT University (Mumbai) have contributed highest number of ETDs in the repository. The top five Research Guides are also from the universities of Pune and Auranagabad. English was found to be most preferred language for theses and dissertations and Impact of ICT (21), Information Seeking Behaviour (11) and Library Management (9) were found to be the highly preferred areas of Ph.D research. The researcher has also identified certain discrepancies in the List of ETDs in Shodhganga.
