Single portal for university libraries

Bangalore: Students and faculty members of all state universities  
canaccesses text books, e-journals and reference manuals of the Bangalore  
University library by visiting the university portal sitting in their own  
libraries.

The Bangalore University is planning to set up a "single portal" for its  
library and the proposal had already been approved in the recent  
Inter-University Board (IUB) meeting which was held at Belgaum. AS  
Srikanth, secretary of the department of higher education, said, "The  
proposal was approved by the IUB. I think they will start the project soon."

The university had come up with the idea because it is difficult for all  
the colleges to subscribe to or buy international journals and reference  
books, added Srikanth.

To plan the project the university is organising a meeting with the  
Vice-Chancellors of all state universities."We will have a  
Vice-Chancellors' conference within the next 15 days to discuss the issue,"  
said

Dr N Prabhu Dev Vice-Chancellor, Bangalore University.
The university will also set up a task force to implement the project  
without any delay. "In the first phase we are planning to digitalise the  
library,"he added.
