Dear group members

I wanted to know what steps should to be taken to convert a  collection of book into   a digital library or we can say how to convert a conventional collection to digital mode

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks and regards

         I would like to add something more to this discussion. In my opinion the whole idea of converting a traditional library to digital library is impractical. Reason being the Inttelectual property rights laws and copy right laws do not permit it. One can not digitize randomly anything available in the library.

       Whenever a digitization project is undertaken, the very first step is the selection of the collection which is to be digitised. The selected collection is usually the one which is out of the perview of the copyright laws and appropriate permissons are obtained for the items which are under the perview of copyright laws.

 For example we can digitize manuscripts, Thesis and dessertations etc. but not a even a single book by Khuswant Singh (because of copyright).

 As far as my knowledge goes, there is not even a single library in the world which is completely digital. Yes most of the modern libraries do have some digital collection and thus we can call them a hybrid library.

 

 

thanks sir

I agree with you

dear friend,

i want to add some thing, digital convertion is good but we should pay attention on digital preservation, as soon as new  technology come into existence old technology became  obsolete, it is a big challenge to make access able the digital data,

thanks

thanks pritee

       The first thing you need to do is find software that will work for your purposes. Then in my opinion you should decide which things you want to digitise, becuse you are not suppose to digitise all the things in the library i agree with Gautamji's comment. And sofwtare means you choose digital library software and i think D-Space is one of the software which can be use to create digital library because we are using it in our CUK-Library and i worked on that software which is user friendly but you will find difficulty in installing it. So first you learn D-Space how to use this and its feature then you can easily digitise your collection. Oki mom but muje nai lagta ki aapko aapke bete ke opinion ki jarurat hat but as per my knowledge i am giving oki kuch galti ho gai ho to maf karna hmmmm....
