/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Digitization of the index cards of the Armenian
language literature in the RA National Library will be finished this
year, said Luiza Berberyan, leading specialist of the department
on protection of cultural heritage and values in the RA Ministry
of Culture.
"2 538 465 book titles have been included in the database since 2002.
Along with that, the digitization of index cards of the
Russian-language literature collection is in process," she told a
PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.
Last year, there was an attempt to operate the search engine on
Internet through the index cards. However, it was found out that a
license costing AMD 6 650 000 is needed for each library connected to
the system. For that reason, the search engine is temporary inactive.
"It was planned to accomplish the program on the introduction of the
library network by 2012. However, due to the economic crisis, no funds
were allocated this year for the purchase of additional technical
equipment. We have no lack of personnel, but insufficient number
of computers makes the digitization process longer. An additional
server is needed to archive the huge volume of information," Luiza
Berberyan said.
12 libraries, including RA National Library, RA NAS Fundamental
Library, YSU library, RA Scientific and Technical Library and
others are included in the program. According to Luiza Berberyan,
all Armenian libraries will be involved in the overall information
network in a while.
