Dear LIS Professioanls,
Heariest Congrats to Dr L J Haravu on his fantastic initiative.
Dr Haravu's this initiative is like Tata's gift of Nano car to people of India. On the same day also LIS professionals got the news of NewGenLib as Open Source. I have always been supportive of this type of development using Open standards and not adopting and depending on foreign open source LIS softwares like Koha, Dspace and Eprints. I was also working on porting eGranthalaya software using open standards. But now onwards I would be happy to work with Dr Haravu for making Indian Library sector fully automated using indegenous open source product. Although NIC has already initiated eGranthalaya digtal agenda using Microsoft technologies for automation and networking of all the libraries across India and during 11th five year plan target is to cover all the libraries of the country.
wishing again a grabd success.
with regards
