About AN-List

Academic Network for Library Information & Scholarly Technology — one subscription that puts scholarly content, evaluation and integrity tools in the hands of a college, and one place to manage all of it.

What AN-List is

AN-List is an academic content and services platform built for Indian colleges, universities and their libraries. It brings together the things an institution normally buys from four or five different places — journals, books, teaching material, journal evaluation and originality checking — and puts them behind a single login, a single invoice and a single renewal date.

It exists because the administrative work around academic content had grown larger than the work of using it. A librarian managing a dozen publisher relationships spends more time on renewal calendars, access lists and usage reports than on helping anyone find anything. AN-List is an attempt to give that time back.

We are not a publisher. We aggregate access, add discovery and reporting on top, and are straightforward about which titles are open access and which are licensed — a college should always know exactly what it is paying for.

What we provide

Five services, one subscription

Take them together or separately — each is subscribed on its own line, so a college pays only for what it uses and can add to it at any point in the year.

eJournals

Peer-reviewed journals across every major discipline, with article-level access, indexing badges (Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, UGC-CARE, DOAJ) shown against each title, and per-title usage reporting. 6,710 journals and 1.2M articles are on the platform today.

eBooks

Full-text academic eBooks organised by subject and sub-subject, so a department can be given exactly its own reading list rather than a whole catalogue. 10,507 titles are available.

Case Studies

Teaching cases for business and management — strategy, marketing, finance, operations, HR and entrepreneurship. Every case keeps its original licence and links back to its source, so it is safe to put in front of a class. 3,972 cases are catalogued.

Impact Factor evaluation

Journal Impact Factor evaluation for institutional and departmental journals, issued as a certificate carrying a QR code that verifies against this site. Useful for a college running its own journal and needing something checkable to show for it.

ORIGEN — originality checking

Plagiarism and AI-writing detection for dissertations, papers and manuscripts. Similarity against the live web, a private corpus of everything the institution has checked before, and sentence-level AI detection — with a dated, shareable report and exclusion filters for quotations and bibliography. How it works.

Discovery and access

One search across journals, articles, eBooks and cases; IP-range access for the campus, and named logins for people working from home. Nothing to install and nothing for a reader to configure.

For colleges

What a college actually gets out of it

Not features — the differences a principal, a librarian and a head of department would notice in a term's work.

One renewal calendar

The single largest administrative saving.

  • One start date, one end date, one invoice — instead of a dozen publisher renewals landing through the year.
  • Automatic reminders about two months before expiry, so access never lapses in the middle of a semester.
  • Each product renews on its own line, so dropping one subject next year does not disturb the rest.

Budget you can defend

Spending on content is easy to question and hard to justify without numbers.

  • Per-title usage — views and downloads, by month and by department — so a renewal decision rests on evidence.
  • Titles nobody opened are visible, which is often where a budget finds its own savings.
  • Quotations and invoices are generated on the platform, so the paperwork matches what was actually bought.

Evidence for accreditation and reporting

Accreditation and ranking submissions ask for figures most institutions have to reconstruct by hand.

  • Exportable usage and holdings reports for the period a submission covers.
  • Indexing status against each journal, so a claim about the collection can be checked rather than asserted.
  • Originality reports with permanent reference numbers, if your process needs them on record.

We provide the data and the exports. What a body such as NAAC, NBA or NIRF accepts is their decision, and we would rather say so than imply an outcome we cannot promise.

Access that matches how people actually work

  • Campus-wide access by IP range — no login for anyone sitting in the library.
  • Named accounts for staff and research students working from home or on placement.
  • Access scoped by subject or sub-subject, so a department gets its own material without paying for everyone's.

Support for research integrity

  • Originality and AI-writing checks for dissertations and submitted papers, with allowances set per department.
  • A private corpus of everything checked before, so a resubmitted or recycled piece of work is caught.
  • Reports that show the matched passages, not just a percentage — the difference between a conversation with a student and an accusation.

Nothing to install, someone to ask

  • Entirely browser-based — no software on library machines, no plugin for readers.
  • Set-up is handled with you: IP ranges, subjects, departmental accounts and a walkthrough for library staff.
  • A trial can be arranged before any commitment, on real content rather than a demonstration catalogue.

Getting started

  1. Tell us what you teach. Subjects, departments, roughly how many readers, and anything you already subscribe to elsewhere.
  2. We put together a quotation. Priced per product and per subject, so you can see what each part costs and drop anything you do not want.
  3. Trial it. Access is switched on for a limited period against the real catalogue before anything is signed.
  4. Set-up. IP ranges registered, departmental accounts created, library staff shown the dashboard and the usage reports.
  5. Through the year. Usage visible whenever you want it, renewal reminders in good time, and products can be added mid-term without disturbing the existing dates.
