Digital Libraries have received wide attention in the recent years allowing access to digital information from anywhere across the world. They have become widely accepted and even preferred information sources in areas of education, science and others subjects. The rapid growth of Internet and the increasing interest in development of digital library related technologies and collections helped accelerate the digitization of printed documents in the past few years.
With a vision of digitizing a million books, the Digital Library of Endeavour for Education and Environment (EEE) project aims to digitally preserve all the significant literary, school and college text books, artistic and scientific works of people and make it freely available to anyone, anytime, from any corner of the world, for education, research and also for appreciation by our future generations. The project has been successfully collected more than 3000 e-books from different sources. We also digitize books, which are a dominant store of knowledge and culture.
We converting E-books into audio-visual CD,DVD,MP3, format which help for low vision person, weaker parsons of society, and schools and college students can easily download in mobile phone or any audio visual equipment.
The target beneficiaries in all educational and others program, we made a educational pictures library in which more than 8000 still pictures of different subjects are stored and archive in our EEE digital E-library.
The motivation in the EEE Digital library project has so far been to preserve the rich and affluent culture and heritage of India, that is only captured in the paper and book media. As we are stepping a few milestones we realize that user profiling and usage statistics will turn out to be a promising factor in the success of any digital library. we discovered from the usage logs that about 80% of the books are not accessed most of the time. Hence, considerable attention needs to be paid towards identifying and procuring books that are useful to broader communities of people.
