Daftar Isi:
- The paper discusses the ambitious project of Department of Public Libraries of the Government of Karnataka to digitize one lakh Kannada books in one year as part of Million Books of Carnige Mellon University. It examines preparations of the department in terms of availability of comprehensive collection and catalogue of one lakh Kannada titles. It is suggested that if up-to-date metadata is available the same may be made available to everyone through its own OPAC or/ and through Worldcat of OCLC. It also cautions that if copyright issues are not solved and royalty is not paid, most popular and high quality books are likely to remain outside the project resulting in only copyright-free books and low quality books getting digitized. In a system like public library it is very much required to digitize rare books and other archival materials, but no one can expect readers to use e-versions of contemporary books when print counter parts are not used. The project should also consider depositing good representative collection of Knanada books in open sources like Wikepedia or open archives once digitized.
