We all know that the Digital Library of India addresses a Critical Need of the Masses – Online Books.

However, we are all aware that the Data Entry Team they employed was in direct rivalry to the Data Entry Guys who do your Indian Govt. Voter Id Cards and other similar Govt. Agencies who recruit directly from the Fields – of agricultural India.

This has created a very unsurmountable and unfortunate impediment in these books ever making it to the Lay Person – not least a constant irritating affair for Regular Users.

Just like Govt. of India’s passe Railway Enquiry Interface was given a very elegant and smooth makeover by the guys at http://erail.in, such an effort is possbile for DLI as well by a small group of Volunteers.

This is the Idea.

Step 1).

For each DLI Bar Code the Corresponding Library of Congress Unique Identifier is identified.

Thus – Our Customized and Improved Search Interface allows you to directly search for everything through the LoC Entries and then the result is fwd. to the DLI eBook Link.

This task can be easily done by the Netizens who regularly surf DLI.

Step 2). The above alone will tremendously remove the inconveniences. But a second step will furthur make the process even smoother. As we all know the Interface only presents you with an Image which we have to keep scrolling.

For each book searched and attempted for download through the New Interface:  do the following:

i.  Run a backend process that will download all the images once and only once

ii. pdf these images in the Server.

iii. shift this pdf with Correct Title and Author using the LOC Values into Google Drive using the very easy Google Drive API.

iv. Let this PDF be available as a Link to Google Drive .

v. Let User download this book by Add to My Drive and share it with click of buttons, no infinite cycles of upload-download

vi. This process happens only the first time. Next Time. Same Book is needed we present them with the Link which is maintained in out Internal Database.
