In the next one year, over one lakh Kannada books authored by good writers will be available online, so that people all over the world can have access to them. A Touch-screen library kiosk was launched at Malleswaram City Central Library recently.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CDs and user manuals of `e-granthalaya' facility released
Librarians can install online public access catalogue in their libraries
Powerful search facility will help users to locate books and journals quickly
Detailed indexing provided to sort author, title and book
Other libraries to get the facility soon
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Government has tied up with Carnegie Mellon University of the U.S for launching "e-granthalaya" facility and touch-screen library kiosks being set up by the Department of Libraries, which is expected to be completed in a year.

This is to ensure that Kannada books can be accessed by anyone anywhere.

It is learnt that the Libraries Department had got a Rs. 10-crore grant from the Rural Infrastructure Development Fund to set up over 250 libraries in gram panchayats.

As the existing number of libraries in the city are not enough to cater to the reading habits of the city's 65-lakh population, the Department is planning to set up more libraries.
The facility, which is now available at the Malleswaram library, will soon be extended to all the libraries in the State.
Bangalore University Library on Monday became the first university e-library in the State by digitising details of its collection of over 3.6 lakh books and providing e-access to general reference material.
Inaugurating the e-library on the Jnanabharathi campus here, Legislative Council Chairman V.R. Sudarshan thanked the university for extending e-library services to the Legislature Library that will be opened on March 2. He said the Legislature Library will be linked to the libraries of Bangalore University and Parliament.
Vice-Chancellor M.S. Thimmappa said computerisation of the administration department of the university is being taken up. The examination, finance and library wings have been computerised. He complimented university Librarian P.V. Konnur for completing the e-library project within a short time. Dr. Konnur has completed digitisation of the Goa University Library.
Dr. Konnur told presspersons that the homepage of the library website, http://www.library.bub.ernet.in, gives visitors a chance to explore the resources of the library. He said it offers a searchable digital catalogue of 1.3 lakh titles, both on the campus-wide intranet and the Internet. As it is a member of the UGC-Infonet (a University Grants Commission network) programme, the library offers electronic journals extended by INFLIBNET, Ahmedabad, through intranet.
Besides digitising its library, the university intends to create a network of libraries of affiliated colleges with the help of the "NewGenLib" library networking software, Dr. Konnur said. The database of all member-libraries will be available on the site, http://BALNET.bub.ernet.in, which will be hosted shortly. Member institutions can demand any book available in any member organisation.
