Description :
As we are moving into a deeper arena of digital technology, we are becoming dependent on the routine updates in various social circles, academic happenings, research related issues and current happenings across the world. It is a world dependent mostly on digital services that connects us to every corner of the areas we wish to get in touch and sometimes irrespective of whether we really wish to. How far can academics and research stay behind? Of course, it is sometimes dragged or fitted in under the garb of advancement. Book-shelving is partially becoming a thing of past and surfing of pages of a books too is lagging behind. Surfing webpages is new method to touch, find and use the academic sources and resources. We are increasingly getting involved into millions of pages spread across hundreds of disciplines, subjects and specializations day by day. Finding an appropriate source has become easier these days. However, there is a liberalism around us that fosters everything and at this juncture, repositories are highly useful. International and national repositories require a bigger platform and finances as well as manpower. But a smaller step for institutional repositories can add noble benefits to entire academia.
