DIGITAL LIBRARY for OPEN LEARNERS (DLOL)

SOL is committed to quality education to lakhs of its students using advanced learning technologies and ICT capabilities by reaching to the hither to un-reached. Due to the resource constraints and location, the students of SOL do not have access to the same kind of library services as available to the campus based learners. “Distance Learning Community is entitled to library services & resources equivalent to those provided for student & faculty in traditional-campus settings”. They are facilitated by technology-mediated right information, right time, 24x7, anywhere bridging the gap between information and information seeker.

 

          For transforming from the existing traditional activities and services towards the ICT enabled web-based library, the “Digital Library for Open Learners (DLOL) is established. To evolve appropriate mechanism of providing information support to distance learners, many projects have been worked out and actions are initiated.  The projects are undertaken for modernisation and re-vamping of library activities and services.

Future Projects


Creation of E-Textbook Platform for Distance Learners


 SOL accommodates lakhs of students by offering many UG/PG courses/ programs. For distance learners, the text books are extremely useful to pursue their studies. Library procures multiple copies of popular text book titles in hundreds to meet the demand of learners. The quantity of physically procured cannot match with the increasing demand of the lakhs of students. The project “Creation of E-Textbook Platform for Distance Learners” has been worked out to evolve appropriate mechanism of provisioning information support on web or mobile “24*7” from anywhere. The first stage is to acquire the content of in print or digital format of popular titles of published text books relevant to courses/ programs from respective publishers by associating them in the project.

Inspired by ‘Digital India Initiative’, the acquired content shall be digitalized and made web or mobile accessible with secured IPR manageability and authenticated & authorized access management. A “Brainstorming” on theme: “Partnership with Publishers for Sharing Digitalized Content on E-Textbooks Platform of SOL” was organized to remove the apprehensions of the publishers regarding securing the content against misuse by unauthorized ones and to bring the awareness among them about the project. Further actions of the project are being structured to formulate and plan on its major components i.e. Content, IPR manageability, Revenue model, & Technology platform.
