Why name is "Central Library"
by vinod mishra 02 Jan '17

02 Jan '17

Dear All, Perhaps i am asking very silly question but this question came in my mind so i would like to know some explanations on below: 1. Why we name any Institute/University main Library as central Library? and what is the meaning of Central Library? 2. If the name of Central library has been given name in honor of any person than why "Central" world is included like Mahatma Gandhi Central Library, Biju Patnaik Central Library etc. my view is why it is not only Mahatma Gandhi Library or Biju Patnaik Library? Please explain to me the differences between above? Thanking You. -- *With Regards,Vinod Kumar Mishra,Assistant Librarian,Biju Patnaik Central Library (BPCL),* *NIT Rourkela,* *Sundergadh-769008,* *Odisha,* *India.* *Mob:91+9439420860* *Website: http://mishravk.com/ <http://mishravk.com/>* -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Confusion on NDL (National digital library) and Sodhganga ?
by vinod mishra 01 Feb '16

01 Feb '16

Dear All, I am very much confused about the National digital library project (NDL) at IIT Kharagpur and Sodhganga of Inflibnet. Main reason is i came to know NDL is going to collect the Metadata from DSpace/Eprint repositories of various IITs, NITs etc. and provide a common platform to search all repositories. My confusions are: 1. How metadata searching can be considered as Digital library without full text? 2. Is it a Kind of Union catalogue of Digital repositories? 3. Sodhganga is nicely managed by Inflibnet under the directorship of Dr. Arora than why this type of things was not integrated with the same which is of national importance? 4. What will be the other contents since its a huge project involving crores of rupees? 5. Recently INDEST and Inflibnet consortium has been merged so is there any chance of merging Sodhganga and NDL in future if yes than why not today? 6. One Koha project under NMEICT was started having cost around 1.8 crore but final out put i do not know just seen Union catalogue of some libraries and Inflibnet is also doing same work now by collecting records from various libraries? Kindly clarify me if anybody is having clear ideas and differences among them. I shall be highly thankful for the same. -- With Regards, Vinod Kumar Mishra, Assistant Librarian, Biju Patnaik Central Library (BPCL), NIT Rourkela, Sundergadh-769008, Odisha, India.
