Why to apply IT in Libraries
• To improve existing services • To provide new services • To collect better data to aid overall
management of the library• To cope with increasing demands• To increase the ability of professional
staff• Needed for NAAC accreditation• More funding from UGC
![Page 3: SOUL (Software for University Libraries) Md. Tarique Anwer WEB LIBRARIN KSU, RIYADH Ex TSE INFLIBNET Delhi Center. Email: tarikamu11@gmail.com](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649e415503460f94b32f27/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Background
No uniformity in the use of software by Libraries for its functions
For national level cooperation, the uniform standards are essential to be practiced by all the libraries to exchange the data.
Library needs proper software to run the library automation functions
High cost of the commercial software necessitated the development of SOUL for libraries
![Page 4: SOUL (Software for University Libraries) Md. Tarique Anwer WEB LIBRARIN KSU, RIYADH Ex TSE INFLIBNET Delhi Center. Email: tarikamu11@gmail.com](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649e415503460f94b32f27/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Financial
• There is no profiteering motive in its promotion.• Very economical to purchase, although it is
highly efficient to carry out almost all the functions in the library management.
• No extra cost will be charged for revised version. SOUL is revised on on-going basis in response to the feedback from users and development in technology.
• No additional cost for customization.• Being low-cost, its recurring & maintenance cost
will comparatively be less.
