Rabindra Library Digital Repository



 Rabindra library of the Assam University is maintaining its digital repository at its local server(s).  Retrospective theses were initially kept on a server using the software E-Print and was made available to the library patrons through its WebOPAC giving a link.  The digital collection was not popular among the users due to lack of the proper publicity and having different servers for different collections and the obligations of the National Digital Library) NDL Project.  Finally, the Rabindra library switched over to the software dspace and along witrh the other contents of the University, these thesis are also being uploaded to the dspace server along with the other digital contents.
