Subscription of online journals databases is very expensive and colleges can’t afford the cost individually. VTU negotiates with the publishers to supply the online contents to the colleges in a subsidized price.

The databases subscribed from the Institution can be accessed through the static IP anywhere in the campus and remote access also which is registered through the publisher.
