Why In News?
- On December 11, 2022 according to information received from the media, the Education Department is going to sign an MoU with UGC - INFLIBNET to connect all libraries of all 15 traditional universities of Bihar online.
Key Points
- The MoU will be signed at a function in the presence of the Education Minister in the presence of the Education Minister and vice-chancellors/registrars of all 15 universities.
- According to official information, through this MoU, every university will know online which book is in which university. If the book is not in digitization form, then the university itself will provide the book from another university to get that book. The financial burden on this will be borne by the university itself.
- Under this new system, a catalogue of books will be created. Students and research scholars will not have to pay any money from their own pocket for this facility. In this way, research scholars and teachers of universities of the state will soon get the gift of inter-library loan.
- This entire exercise will be done on the UGC guidelines. For this, an automation system of university libraries will be created, in which barcodes of books etc. will also be given. Apart from this, Research Ganga, Research Cycle, e-Shodh Sindhu and Shodh Suddhi System will be made effective.
