The benefits of digitising books, manuscripts and other relevant material

After five years of working on making literature available on public domain through digitisation, Servants of Knowledge, a Bengaluru-based community initiative, held its first meeting with city residents.  The panel of experts at the meeting included Carl Malamud, an American technologist who runs Public.Resource.Org since the 1980s; Lawrence Liang, dean of the Ambedkar University School of Law; and Omshivaprakash H L, an open access advocate who co-founded the Servants of Knowledge initiative.
