The Kerala University of Fisheries and Ocean Studies (KUFOS) has set up a D-Space Digital Library and Automated Library Information System with Wi-Fi connectivity.
Inaugurating the facility, State Fisheries Minister K Babu, said the digital library system would help improve fisheries education in the country. It would make information sharing and gathering more effective and easy. KUFOS could make a database of rare fish species and fisheries resources of the State, he said, adding that popular new media could be used to reach out to people effectively.
Speaking on the occasion, B. Madhusoodana Kurup, Vice-Chancellor, said the digital resources of fisheries information prepared by KUFOS would help usher in a second blue revolution in the country.
KUFOS would be made a hub for fisheries information. Information of use to fish farmers in their daily activities has been included in the digital library. Traditional knowledge and sayings have also been listed in the system. The system has been set up with financial assistance from the Indian Council for Agriculture Research, he added.
