Abstract

Local languages based information storage and retrieval system is essential for any online digital repository system. This paper reports the development of an interface in Bengali that allows users not only browsing and searching Indic-script based documents but also allows administrator performing various system level operations. This Bengali-script based information representation and retrieval (IRR) system viz. BURA (Burdwan University Research Archive) has been developed using different open source software (OSS). It provides insights into important factors for building successful multilingual digital libraries. The suggested strategies may help digital library developers to design appropriate multilingual information access services in other languages. Current solutions and plans for future work are also described.
