UBD Pioneer's With Its Digital Library
By Sobrina Rosli

Bandar Seri Begawan - Students of Universiti Brunei Darussalam (UBD) now have access to various university libraries worldwide following the launch of its Digital e-Library yesterday.

The new project enables UBD students to access universities abroad through the Online Public Access Catalogue.

It will make research more convenient; at a click of the mouse, students availing themselves of the e-library can get a listing of digitised versions of scholarly articles and books on a specific topic.

The e-library supports the nation's modernisation plans.

The installation of the e-library system was made by Alif Technologies Co along with its business partners, Frontline and Infogrid.

The library facilities have also been improved through the provision of additional PC terminals for staff and students to search for information in the library.

A special digitisation laboratory was also set up to develop the content of the university's digital library service.

During a ceremony to launch the new library service yesterday, Alif Technologies signed the Virtual Library System Brunei Darussalam project, which will establish online library systems in government schools nationwide.

Meanwhile, UBD is also organising its Information Week on February 5-10. -- Courtesy of The Brunei Times
