Subject Theses

Repository
Marathi
 
Description 74-84
Shodhganga theses repository, a cooperative effort between universities and INFLIBNET has a digital collection of over
460000 theses. Metadata from Shodhganga on the theses on Marathi literature was downloaded to study the trends in this
area of knowledge. While carrying out this study, many flaws in the metadata and relevant files on Shodhganga were
noticed. Time lag in the submissions of theses by the participating Universities, duplicate records for one document, nonadherence
to the cataloguing standards while entering metadata, absence of abstracts and apt keywords for the document
being described, attributing theses to wrong departments/subject areas, garbled text in metadata and files, identification of
similarity between items conferred with a degree and inconsistencies in the rendering of full-text file names and linking
incorrect documents were noticed. This study showcases such specific examples from within the repository and suggests
some solutions and reccomendations to avoid the flaws in the repository.
