When the Swmai Gnanapragasar Memorial Noolaham in Nallur came forward to help Noolaham Foundation to digitize the Manuscripts housed in their library, they also requested Noolaham Foundation to digitize the nearly 20, 000 books kept in their library. This project evolved out of the collaboration between the two institutions. As the first step, Thodarpagam had already catalogued 5000 books under another project. As a continuation of that project, this project was undertaken by Noolaham Foundation. As the first step, the inputs that had already been catalogued were retrieved. This project was designed in such a way to provide training to a librarian in cataloguing and to create a site that would include an online catalogue using the DRUPAL software.
