Precious library needs helping hand: Deccan Herald, New Delhi, Oct 30, 2015

Facility at Town Hall building has one of earliest printed copies of Constitution
 
The municipal staff library at the nearly 150-year-old historic Town Hall building in Chandni Chowk, which houses one of the earliest printed copies of the Constitution, is in shambles.

While dust is piled over the books as well as tables and chairs in its reading room, stacks of newspapers can be seen dumped between the rows. Since 2008, the library has been run by assistant librarian Praveen Kumar Bansal. “After my persistant requests, the North Corporation gave me an assistant, a beldar ,” Bansal told Deccan Herald.

The library is frequented by those who need to get ‘no-objection certificate’ during their transfer or retirement. But once in a while it is also visited by Delhi University students and scholars from abroad. One such visitor from New Zealand left quite an impression on Bansal. “I can’t forget her. She took a book which was torn in many places but when she returned the book, it was in a much better condition,” said Bansal.

One of the attractions of this library is a rare copy of the Constitution. “The library has one of the 12 originally printed copies of the Constitution. It also bears the signs of the members of the constituent assembly, including Jawaharlal Nehru and Shyama Prasad Mukherjee, after whom the Civic Centre is named,” said Bansal, showing the copy of the Constitution. “The book has got different pattern on every page. Sometimes we also receive requests to buy the book from visitors,” he added.

The assistant librarian said he has been making rounds of the civic agency for more staff but to no avail. “Recruitment has not taken place for the past six to seven years. The upkeep of the municipal library becomes challenging,” he said.

When asked about the condition of the library, a senior official of the North Delhi Municipal Corporation said, “The civic agency is mulling to shift the library to the Civic Centre to give it a new lease of life and save the valuable books.”

Libraries of all varsities in Karnataka will be digitally connected

Shruthi H M
Bengaluru: Students of graduate and postgraduate courses in the State will soon be able to access books and journals of different universities sitting in their college library. The Higher Education department in Karnataka has taken up an e-library initiative which would digitally connect the libraries of all universities in the State.
With this facility, all students can have access to a wide pool of study materials. Sources in the State Higher Education Council said the programme was already in the initial stages of implementation with e-content of some of the universities being made available on the government portal. "We have already started working on it and some of the content is available at present. It would take a couple of more months for implementing the scheme on a full scale," an official in the Higher Education Council said.
The e-library initiative is part of the larger ICT initiative taken up by the Higher Education department, which looks at overall automation and digitisation of higher education institutions in the State.
According to the plans at present, every university will make its e-content available on the common government portal set up for the purpose. This would be open to not just all universities but their affiliated colleges as well. This includes government, aided and unaided colleges affiliated to a university. The varsities will share the journals they are subscribing to and articles published by their faculty, apart from digitised books in their respective libraries. In addition, the entire catalogue of books available in every library will be hosted on this portal.
I R N Goudar, visiting professor and library advisor, Bangalore University explained: "In BU, we have already digitised 80 per cent of our content. We are in the process of uploading thesis of our research scholars. We have brought the catalogues of libraries of Jnanabharathi, Central College and University Law College on a common platform."
Goudar was earlier responsible for digitally collating the catalogue of all the libraries under University of Mysore.
In the future, the department could also explore inter-university book lending where a faculty or student of university can borrow books from the other varsity. This would provide an abundant pool of learning material. "Several universities abroad have this system in place already. It is not an unthinkable project. With some co-ordination, the department can constitute a committee for the same and look into coming up with rules and regulations for inter-university book lending" Goudar said.
Not just this, the higher education department could also look at buying e-journals and sharing them with all universities, he pointed out. For instance, BU has spent around Rs 2.35 crore in buying e-books over the last three years. Instead of each university duplicating expenditure, the department could buy it on behalf of the universities and share it on its server. This could be done with partial funding between the universities and the department, Goudar added.
This ambitious project of the department could open doors to many opportunities for rural students, only if adequate infrastructure is provided.
Sreesha Kumar, Principal of Government First Grade College, HD Kote (the college is affiliated to University of Mysore) said that while they had a lot to benefit from such an initiative, the infrastructure needed to be developed. "We would need more computers for this to be effective. Without adequate infrastructure, students would not benefit from it. Also, for our students to make the best use of it, it would be helpful if there is Kannada e-content. Many students in rural areas usually are intimidated by English and they would hesitate to access the resources if it is not in the regional language."
