By July 16th, 2014，Total number of PQDT full-text is 466,452
Taking Part in the consortium
Firstly, the institution should fill in a receipt and upload
it to the DRAA portal
Then, every participated member has to sign a
purchasing agreement with ZhongKe I/E company（the
agency of PQDT full-text database in China）
After the payment, members can choose and submit
dissertation and thesis orders to subscription system
If the valid orders submitted by members did not reach
the fixed number, the insufficient number will be
selected and submitted by CALIS.
Lastly, the whole full-text orders will be uploaded to
CALIS and other two servers in China to be visited
Utilization Model
"Unlimited cross access"
Each end user can visit collections bought by their
institutions and other participants
It offers participants the right of permanent access to the
full-texts bought by the consortium
"cost savings”
Each participant chooses a different collection and
gathers them together to make the consortium having the
most collections to be visited. CALIS is to make sure the
Uniqueness of the record
The consortium avoids the duplication of abundant
collections and generates significant cost savings on
holding selection
Long-term storage & permanent access
Members will continue to have the right to visit the
resources of the consortium they have participated whatever
they join the next year’s purchasing activity or not
Whether a member joins the consortium later or exits earlier,
this member will obtain the rights of long-term storage and
permanent access of the full-texts they ordered
CALIS provides long-term storage and permanent access
service to PQDT full-text database consortium
As long as one purchased a fixed number of dissertations
and theses according to some deals and shared with others, it
is allowed to visit the resources subscribed by old members
Retrieval system
Developed by ZhongKe I/E company
The servers are deployed in three places
Subscription system
Participants work together to protect the entire consortium without
repeating orders and avoid duplicated holdings for participated libraries

The effectiveness of the
consortium
More libraries join the resource sharing activities
The full-texts keep increasing
The usage on PQDT database
The contribution of CALIS
provides the guideline on the development of PQDT
full-text database
prompts libraries' investment on the resources of
dissertation and thesis
offered subsidies to participant member in CALIS phase
one and phase two development
organize the subscription, conduct the negotiations
protect the interests of consortium members
evaluate the database on contents, platform, usage
statistic, publishers' service
Cooperatively hold training to promote the consortium
development, to train staff skills on database usage
Further consideration
order dissertations and theses anytime and anywhere
discuss other solutions, such as the way of interlibrary
loan, document delivery, Pay per View (PPV) and so on
promote the model on "unlimited cross access” and
"cost savings”to other databases
provide different kinds of resource sharing models on
cooperative purchasing under the support of publishers
and agencies
