Digitization of project reports: An experience with GSDL

The explosion of interest in research and practice of digital libraries has spanned the boundaries of computing, networking and information science. A digital library has dissolved the barriers to 'information equity' and acting as an information highway for the knowledge to every citizen of the country. A digital library is "an organization that provides the resources, including the specialized staff, to select, structure, offer intellectual access to, interpret, distribute, preserve the integrity of, and ensure the persistence over time of collections of digital works so that they are readily and economically available for use by a defined community or set of communities" (Digital library federation)
