BIBLIOPHILE WANTS HIS PUSTAKA MANE TO BE A NATIONAL LIBRARY
by Ragaavendra R 26 Nov '15

26 Nov '15

BIBLIOPHILE WANTS HIS PUSTAKA MANE TO BE A NATIONAL LIBRARY It's a sprawling one-room house spread over half an acre. Just that it spills over with books, seven lakh of them to be precise.And the three-member family that owns the house and the books have been literally driven to the margins of the room, a makeshift wall made of book racks carving out a rabbit hole of a living space. Aptly named Pustaka Mane (house of books), the repository houses titles on a plethora of subjects --from Shakespeare's dramas to Harry Potter series to ancient Vedas to books on software and even personality development. Located around a kilometre from Pandavapura railway station, near Srirangapatna, Mandya district, the library is the brainchild of sexagenarian Ankegowda M. Students and scholars from Mysuru, Mandya, Bengaluru and, occasionally, outside the country land here to dig into Ankegowda's literary treasure trove. Ankegowda, 68, has been a bibliophile from the time he can remember. "When I was in Class IX, I would purchase books on Swami Vivekananda for 25 paise. My villagers had no exposure to books. That's when I decided all kinds of books must be available under one roof," he recalls. And from then to now, books are all that have mattered to this man.Employed as the chief time officer with a sugar factory in Pandavapura, Ankegowda opted for voluntary retirement so that he could take up book collection as a full-time job.He never purchased vehicles nor invested in other assets. Instead, around a decade ago, he sold a piece of land in Mysuru for around Rs 10 lakh. The current value of that land is close to a crore. His wife Vijayalakshmi recalls the days when Ankegowda would bring in loads of books every time he got incentives and bonus. "While many of his col leagues brought vehicles or invested in land, my husband would bring tomes and tomes of books. >From the railway station, he'd carry gunny bags full of books on his shoulders; this was a common scene," she says. Ankegowda's son Sagar is pursuing his undergraduation in Kannada major at Pandavapura Government College. "I have two pairs of trousers and white shirts," says Ankegowda. Hari Khoday , a businessman who took up the rejuvenation work of Venugopala Swamy temple near KRS, visited Ankegowda's official quarters on hearing about his library . "Khoday was elated on seeing my collection; that time I had around 70,000 books. He bought this land and constructed the building in 2005," says Ankegowda. Then chief minister Sadananda Gowda visited the library and promised a fund of Rs 2 crore. Eventually , Rs 25 lakh was allotted. "Many writers, politicians and scholars praise me for my work. But managing finances is getting tough.I incur a monthly expenditure of Rs 70,000 just to maintain the library .I need Rs 60 lakh to construct another floor to place the overflowing books.In my absence, Pustaka Mane should become a national library ," he says. Russell Smith, a US citizen, recently wrote in the visitors' ledger: "Among the wonders of India, this library stands tall. To me, it's greater than the Taj Mahal. It is unfortunate that Ankegowda is receiving no help."

Inclusion of E-Books in Library Accession Register
by Gopakumar Velayudhanpillai 26 Nov '15

26 Nov '15

I read the questions regarding the e-books management by Dr. D. Sheeba Jebaseeli Jasmine, CIPET. These are some of the very basic questions in this area. My answers based on the experience are provided below. It is essential to maintain a register for the purchased e-books. It can be included in the main accession register or otherwise. A separate register will give you a clear picture about your digital collection including its total number and the cost involved. Along with the purchase of metadata, the publisher provides you metadata in MARC format, which you can import into your software. The user who finds an e-book can directly open the book from the OPAC end of your software. You have to continuously give propaganda about e-books procured by you. No publisher allows you to download and keep the digital files related to e-books in a local server. It will be mentioned in the agreement signed between the institution and the publisher. Some publishers provide the e-books in complete files; some provide it as separate pdf files. It depends on the publisher policy. However no publisher allows you a continuous systematic downloading. Users can down load the books they need and use them at their convenience. You can include the data regarding the purchased e-books and their usage (The publishers will provide you the usage data on request) in your profile reports. Dr GOPAKUMAR V.
