Noolaham Digital Library
Digital libraries make possible enhanced access to information, being as they are available to anybody in any part of the world at any given time. The primary objective of the Noolaham Foundation is to maintain online digital library sans access restrictions.
www.noolaham.org indexes various digitised collections accessible online. The Foundation hosts only a part of the e-books collection linked at the digital library, thus making it a virtual collection. Wiki pages for documents from each collection are categorized under their relevant categaries. e-books which are online, but not part of any specufic collection, are organized into one category.
This digital library serves as a learning center where local knowledge is incorporated; enables social interaction for the achievement of constructive social outcomes, and supports cognitive work of scholors and research students.
It should also be noted that it is a free and transparent site and it does not have any access restrictions or subscription requirements. And it can be accessed in Tamil and English.
