Gauhati Commerce College to get digital library

Rs.10 crore sanctioned for the digital library will allow students to access e-journals and e-books online by just a click of the mouse.

Guwahati: The Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER) has sanctioned Rs. 10 crore for setting up a digital library at the 50-year-old Gauhati Commerce College here. The college had submitted the proposal to set up the digital library to the ministry in 2010 and it received its sanction recently. The state’s public works department is now preparing a detailed project report for developing the infrastructure needed to build the first digital library of a college in the state.

         Gauhati Commerce College librarian Utpal Sarma said that the digital library would incorporate internet gateway connectivity which would allow students and researchers to access e-journals, e-books and other necessary information online. “Setting up of the digital library will have many advantages. First, we will prepare a computer database of all books currently in our library, which will allow students to locate a book by a click of the mouse. Secondly, we will also provide them access to many e-journals which students can use for downloading articles for academic and research purposes,” Mr. Sarma said. He added that the digital infrastructure for the library would include LAN terminals, VSAT server and an open source software.

       “We are planning to incorporate Informatics, an open source software and e-journal provider. Informatics offers access to one billion e-books and e-journals. Students will be able to read e-books, e-journals and download them for use by making an online payment of just $2. It will be different from accessing the articles online as one is normally not able to download articles from journals because of copyright issues,” Mr. Sarma added.  The digital library is also planning to get a membership of The American Library of the Congress which will allow students to browse, surf, download and read any content available through the library, according to other college sources.

     Set up in 1962, Gauhati Commerce College offers courses in business and commerce. It also started a Centre of Management Studies in 2010 and now enrolls students in its BBA and MBA programs as well.

Rare books at Directorate of Library Services

Staff reporter

GUWAHATI, Aug 21 – A repository of information and wisdom of eras long gone by continues to draw in people from today’s knowledge society. And as time goes by, its highly regarded items will only gain in value.

The collection of rare books in the Directorate of Library Services Assam at Ambari here houses some of the most difficult-to-obtain books and journals in the State. Most of the books are no longer in circulation, and therefore, difficult to acquire. The authors of some were forgotten with the passage of time, while some others went on to earn distinction in different fields.

According to official sources, the rare books section contains more than 2,370 titles in English, which include books on Assam written during the colonial period. Assamese books currently available to the reading public number nearly 900.

A book with an intrepid sounding name is Hill Tracts between Assam and Burmah and the Upper Brahmaputra. Written by Lt R Wilcox, it was published way back in 1825. It shares shelf space with other works such as the Report on the Manufacture of Tea and on the Extent and Product of the Tea Plantation in Assam, printed in 1839.

Like its protagonist, who travelled well beyond the horizon, Gulliver’s Travels managed to find its way to the exceptional book collection. The first edition of Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World (in four parts) by Lemuel Gulliver, printed in 1726, was presented to the Shillong Public Library by the ‘Raja of Hill Tipperah’ through CW McMinn of the Indian Civil Service. After Meghalaya became a separate State, it moved to its present location.

A wide range of books in Assamese, no longer available in bookshops, offers insights into the way authors in the past perceived their subjects. Lakshminath Bezbaroa’s Nomal, Hem Baruah’s Asamiya Byakaran, Debakar Sarma’s Anka Path and Ram Sarasawti’s Geet Govinda are only a few of the priceless works in the rare books section, said an official.

Although not many lay people visit the rare books section, researchers from this region as well as abroad find it an interesting destination. Those acquainted with the facility agree on the need to create a digital database of the extraordinary books as their conditions will naturally deteriorate with age.
