Tamil Digital Library Network
Tamil Digital Library Network (TADILNET) is an Internet
based networking group of individuals and institutional
representatives engaged in or interested in building digital Tamil
collections. It is a voluntary forum to share information on the
content of individual collections, location of primary resources,
sharing of experience in Tamil digitization efforts, build common
standards and protocols that lead to efficient comprehensive
catalogue of e-archives, search engines etc.
Currently the TADILNET forum consists of ca. 30
individuals from many of the leading academic institutions
(academicians, librarians in charge of libraries with major Tamil
resource collections and software professionals interested in Tamil
Digital Library development) and they come from India, Sri Lanka,
Singapore, Malaysia, Europe and North America. The group uses
net-based mailing list at Yahoo groups for continuous dialogue.
