Abstract

This paper discusses about the usage of various electronic resources available in digital library of PSNA College of Engineering and Technology, Dindigul (PSNACET). Various formats of digital collections such as e-resources, audio and video materials, question papers etc have been provided in PSNACET digital library software for the use of faculty members and students community. This paper also describes briefly about Green Stone Digital Library (GSDL) software installation steps and few customized screenshot which are being currently used in the library. The use of GSDL for digital archiving can help in transforming the PSNACET library into a knowledge dissemination centre and the librarian as knowledge manager or information scientist.
