Digital Library of India, initially hosted by Indian Institute of Science, CDAC, Noida, IIIT-Hyderabad during 2000s working in partnership with the Million Book Project, provides free access to many books in English and Indian languages.[1] The scanning of Indian language books has created an opportunity for developing Indian language optical character recognition (OCR) software. The publications are mainly in PDF or QuickTime format.[2]
Because of copyright laws, the texts are all out of copyright and therefore not sources for current information, but rather useful for history and background. The structure of the Digital Library of India is one of the most complex, unusable structures, entirely non-intuitive and with too many options and dysfunctional choices. It is almost as if those who designed the website aren't bothered about users at all and had never subjected their website to any test of user-friendliness.
As of 2016[update], DLI had scanned 550,603 titles.
Representative titles include:
Ancient India, McCrindle J. W.. 1885.
Ancient Indian Polity, Aiyangar K. V. Rangaswami. 1935.
History of the Parsis Vol-I, Karaka Dosabhai Framji. 1884.
A Treatise on Kala-Azar, Brahmachari Upendranath. 1928.
Books in Urdu and Persian are also available. Examples include " Aligarh kee taaleemi tehreek" by Khwaja Ghulamus Sayyedain
and Makateeb-e-Sanai by Professor Nazir Ahmad
DLI website has not been operational for maintenance reasons from 2017. The contents are available from archive.org[3]
