An electronic submission of these dissertations and theses are known as ETDs. Modern information and communication technology (ICT) acts as an effective intervener for paradigm shifting from closed access theses and dissertations to open access electronic theses and dissertations (ETD).

ETDs can contain non-text elements such as multimedia, sound, video, and hypertext links. This enables scholars worldwide to locate, search, and download ETDs. For most scholars, the the Ph.D thesis and M.phil dissertations are the first major work of scholarship they produce. To make those works more readily available to other scholars, as well as to save money, many universities and libraries are now making digitized (or electronic) versions available. The Shodhganga@INFLIBNET is set-up using open source digital repository software called DSpace developed by MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) in partnership between Hewlett- Packard (HP). The DSpace uses internationally recognized protocols and interoperability standards. Shodhganga provides a platform for research scholars to deposit their Ph.D. theses and make it available to the entire scholarly community in open access. An attempt has been made to determine the present status of participating Indian Universities in Shodganga.

Electronic Theses and Dissertations (ETDs) are primary sources of information produced in the college and university departments worldwide and require reach among academics and researchers. Shodhganga in India and some other ETDs in several countries which are part of Networked Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (NDLTD) are availing open access to theses and dissertations to the researcher community. Submission of theses is mandatory to the universities in India to enhance its reach. ETDs are authentic sources of information; however, several studies show low or moderate awareness about ETDs among users in higher education institutions (Tella et al., 2016; Evans & Mersham, 2006; Sinha & Purkayastha, 2018). User perspectives are essential to serve them efficiently and effectively; therefore need arises to know the same for the Shodhganga and other ETDs. Main objectives of this study are to know about awareness, impact and usability of the same along with benefits and problems imparted while using it. A descriptive type of study with survey technique of data collection with 95% confidence level has been used. The survey is based on a questionnaire which was distributed by in hand and online to the respondents. Research scholars in the University of Allahabad constitute population of this study. It was found that ETDs are moderately useful to the research scholars. Awareness towards the Shodhganga is very high; it is less in the case of other ETDs. It is suggested to the librarian community from the colleges, universities and research centers to avail links of the Shodhganga and other ETDs on its websites and instruct the users as per needs.
