XLRI students to upgrade digital library soon
JAMSHEDPUR: Encouraged by the overwhelming response to the digital library in the remote Janumdih village of Potka block in the district, the general management programme (GMP) students of XLRI have announced upgradation of the library.
With near full capacity attendance of the young villagers, who are not only reading the books but also spending quality time surfing internet on the computer donated by the XLRI students, the organizers intend to upgrade the library with an additional collection of books. "We plan to add to the existing collection of books in the library soon," said Himanshu Singh, member of the XLRI team that together with the city-based NGO, Kalamandir opened the library and installed the computer with internet and webcam facility, earlier this month.
Singh said the digital library and the computer system, currently maintained by a local computer literate youth, Satyaji Barui, will be shifted to a nearby location in the same village. It will then be upgraded with new and interesting features. The library boasts of over 500 books in Hindi, English and Bengali.
The NGO and the XLRI team had zeroed in on Janmudih village once they were convinced that this village was most deserving of a proper library. "During our initial interactions with the local villagers, we had come across an elderly man, village pradhan, Manu Singh Sardar, who had shared with us how for several years he had been planning to open a library in the village," a member of the XLRI team said.
Deepak Suri, Devesh Thakur, Gaurav Sharma, Mayank Gupta, Ravjit Kokardekar, Mandar Buddhikot, Tanveer Anwar and Paul Jacob, were part of the team that worked on the successful implementation of the sustainable social project.
"Though this is part of our curriculum but it also gives us immense joy to see the villagers happy. With the use of Internet and books available in the library, they would gain so much knowledge with such ease," Singh said.

E-books, e-library - for your reading pleasure
E-books, e-library - for your reading pleasure (Thinkstock photos/Getty Images)
An online library that also offers a pick-up and drop facility for books, getting to browse through various language newspapers at one site, or mastering the intricacies of math and science at the click of a mouse - welcome to the exciting world of e-books that beckons at the Delhi Book Fair.
The Sep 1-9 Delhi Book Fair is focussing this year on e-books and e-publishing, and visitors at the fair can now purchase books online.
The online library hookedonbook.com offersreaders thousands of titles to choose from and also provides pickup and drop of the books.
Another site, readwhere.com, allows readers to browse through their choice of newspapers,comics and magazines and one can also purchase digitized books online.
Both these e-sites are another innovative venture - meritnation.com - that provides online teaching material to students from Classes 1-12. The online tutorial has simply written texts, videos and cartoons to make the chapters easy, as well as weekly tests and a forum for asking questions.
Vikram Khosla, the owner of hookedonbook.com, said he has 40,000 titles in his collection.
"Subscribers can browse through the collection and list their 10 preferred titles. We will get their top favourite book delivered at their doorstep," Khosla told us.
Once the person has finished reading, a call or a mail to the site will get a man to pick up the book. "While coming to pick up the book our man will bring along the next book in the subscribers' list," added Khosla.
How will they ensure books remain in good condition?
"Our books will be checked and the subscriber will be asked to sign on a slip of paper before the book is given to him."
The rates begin from a starter plan of Rs.200 a month, for two books per month, and goes up to Rs.1,000 per month for unlimited number of books to be rented in a month.
Khosla said he hit upon the idea when his daughters, who used to frequent libraries in the US, "started buying books after coming to India and realized there are very few libraries here".
Khosla is also planning to set up leisure reading rooms in south Delhi's Saket area soon, equipped "with bean bags, soft music, and light coffee - where people, including kids, can spend hours enjoying the reading experience".
The online tutorials site, meritnation.com, is a venture by naukri.
"We provide all study material online, including through visuals and diagrams," Priti Vajpayee, an official of the site, told us.
Students can also post their queries online and an expert answers their query.
"We also host live tests so that students are well prepared," said Vajpayee, adding the site gets "7,000 sign-ins a day".
The e-tutorials cost Rs.2,200 for a year for two subjects, while a package of all the subjects costs Rs.4,500 a year. Tutorials for attempting the IIT-JEE engineering exams cost Rs.14,000 a year.
Another interesting site - readwhere.com - offers readers a whole array of vernacular language newspapers, magazines and comics.
It also allows booksellers to go for e-publishing of their books and has an online bookstore from which readers can order books online.
"Ours is a free site where readers can access newspapers and magazines," said Arun Nair, an official for the managers of the site.
"Our focus is getting various language newspapers. We sell e-books too," Nair told us.
He said the site had developed a software that would prevent copying of paid content. "An e-book can be accessed by the buyer but not downloaded," said Nair.
The buyer can save the e-book in an app memory, which could be accessed without any internet even while travelling.

Reading On...The Hardyal Municipal Library in Delhi has stood the test of time
source: Indian Express
Hard times for 19th century library of over 8,000 rare books
NEW DELHI: In the days of the Raj, when the English aristocracy travelled to India in the 18th and 19th centuries, they would often occupy themselves with books during the long sea journeys that could last over a month. Bulky tomes with heavy subjects were, evidently, a popular option. Close to 8,000 such books, donated by the British travelers, are currently housed in a corner of Chandni Chowk at the Hardayal Municipal Public Library, among the oldest in the city.
Called the "rare books collection" they include a 1677 edition of Sir Walter Raleigh's History of the World and a Herodotus volume in the original Greek from 1826. But these books, like the library, are currently facing a threat. It has been four months since the library received salaries for its staff, let alone development funds. (See: 'We will have to shut down the newspaper section if we don't receive funds')
The rare books are kept under lock and key in iron vaults that are neither weather-proof, nor fire-proof. The pages of particularly brittle books are individually laminated. As for gaining access to a catalogue of these books, it necessarily involves a trek to Chandni Chowk and a classic cobwebs-in-your-hair procedure of going through physical records that will most certainly leave you with dusty fingers. The library is yet to see computerization.
Located close to the Chandni Chowk Police Station, the library has close to 1,200 members and gets about 700 visitors a day, library officials say. The library was instituted by the British in 1862, when it was called the Institute Library. In 1916 it was shifted to the current building and renamed Hardinge Municipal Public Library. It was only in 1970 that the "Hardinge" was replaced with "Hardayal". In December 1912, freedom fighter Lala Hardayalhad flung a bomb at Lord Hardinge's elephant procession. Ironically, the present building was built with contributions with influential Indian individuals and institutions of the time to commemorate Lord Hardinge's escape from that attack.
And then, even in the general stacks, history has a way of sneaking up on you. On a recent visit, TOI discovered a dust-laden, moth-eaten, yellowed copy of Mary Elizabeth Braddon's Ishmael. One of the last few pages bore the inscription "Printed for the Author By WilliamClowes & Sons Limited, London and Beccles". It is an 1884 author's edition.
The building, nearly a century old, preserves the tall arches, wooden spiral staircases and tall doors. A precarious, narrow iron staircase leads to the first floor that houses books in Hindi and English. Flooded with natural light during the day, you'd need to watch your step walking on the frail, creaky, plywood floor. British books on Indian and Roman history, or books in Hindi about homoeopathy, the library has most things covered in the 1,70,000 books it houses.
The reading rooms of the library underwent a renovation two years ago. Open to all from 8 am to 10 pm, it is particularly popular for its newspapers. During the day, it is invariably populated with young students consulting their books, punching away at their calculators and scribbling in their notebooks. "This is where I prepared for my M.A. and B.Ed exams. When I became a teacher, I would send my students here," says Yashpal Arya, the honorary secretary of the library. Currently it is difficult to say whether the library will survive. Even the various memos and letters submitted to government offices by the staff bear an ominous title enquiring for the "fate" of the library. There's hardly any going by the book right now.
'We will have to shut down the newspaper section if we don't receive funds'
It has been four months since the staff of the Hardayal Municipal Public Librarywas paid its salary. With the trifurcation of the MCD earlier this year, there was initially some confusion over the jurisdiction of this library with 31 branches across the city. The Chandni Chowk region, where the central library and the head office are, falls under the North Delhi Municipal Corporation. The official NDMC budget estimate lists "Grant-in-aid toHardayal Mpl. Public Library" as Rs. 3 crore for 2012-13.
Honorary Secretary of the library Yashpal Arya says he will have to shut down the newspapers section of the library by next month if he does not receive funds. The HMPL's newspapers section that subscribes to 31 newspapers from the English, Hindi and Urdu press, is gratis and open to all. "There are so many students who have done their PhDs from here. I only have hope until the end of August. I don't know how things will function beyond that," says Arya.
The library staff submitted a memo to Chief Minister Sheila Dixit on August 3 asking for release of provisional funds for salaries and other expenses. A copy of the memo, bearing the CM's handwritten note to NDMC commissioner PK Gupta is with the TOI.
"There are some audit problems. We are looking into it," said Gupta when last contacted. Meanwhile, the staff continues to scratch their wallets. "My son just joined college. I had to take a loan to submit his fees. It has been four months! How will we run our homes?" says a senior library official from Chandni Chowk.
