E-Pustakalaya Launched (www.pustakalaya.org)

OLE Nepal has been working on its digital library, E-Pustakalaya, since the summer of 2008. The project has made significant progress, with the library now publicly launched and featuring basic functionalities. Additional content and features will be continuously added. In the early stages, the Nepal Library Foundation (NLF), Canada, provided startup funds to help OLE Nepal maintain a robust and publicly accessible website for E-Pustakalaya. This funding helped purchase a server for the library. From January 2009, NLF also extended support by hiring two full-time coordinators for content acquisition. These coordinators have been working with authors, publishers, and other relevant organizations to gather materials and establish an editorial board.
