A veritably painstaking effort, Mapping India seeks to chart the cartographic history or the evolution of mapping in India, bringing together some of the noteworthy maps which have depicted India since the advent of Europeans 500 years ago.  The maps here have had a seminal influence on the cartography of India till about its independence.

Recounting the story of India through maps, Mapping India tries to reproduce the earliest chronicles of India to its post-independence strides.  The maps, included here, highlight the very rationale behind them -- their significance whether in representing an event or place in the life of the nation, an important discovery, a political upheaval, a battle that changed the course of its history, or a general state of affairs.  Included here are maps that emphatically reflect the changing social and political fortunes of India.  Here are maps that speak of the commercial interests of East India Company and of its wars that led to the colonization of India.  Also seen in these maps are the changed courses of rivers, routes taken by armies, places where famines occurred, how the highest peaks were conquered and, besides a lot else, the momentous episodes from India’s epic struggle for independence. 

Indian Books, Delhi Red Fort to Raisina

Dkagencies.com| Delhi: Red Fort to Raisina-  tells the fascinating story of Delhi – one of the world’s oldest cities where empires rose and fell. It is a city of mysterious eternity, whose old ruins seem to evoke a glorious past and whose present pulsates vibrantly with the ever-flowing life of India. It is now a hundred years, when the British shifted the capital from Calcutta to Delhi. Celebrating the centenary of this historic event, the book traces Delhi’s journey from 1638, when the Mughal Emperor Shahjahan built Red Fort and Shahjahanabad to New Delhi, the new capital of the British-ruled India since 1911. Though there seems no affinity between the ‘garden city’ of New Delhi and the 17th century ‘Old Delhi’, yet when one looks deeper, Shahjahan’s city and the British capital were both the result of a passion for building: both imperial in scale and designed to awe

We have especially tuned our services to suit to the needs of public libraries.

We make available to libraries a range of books published in English, Hindi and 12 major Indian languages and South Asian languages like Nepali and Tibetan as well. We procure books published and printed in these languages and catalogue them at DK with utmost care. We regularly issue book-lists with regard to publications in Indian languages. However, libraries that have specific requirements may hand over their requirements to us. We present the best selection of the most relevant books within the given framework and the budgetary limitations. Each book supplied comes with minimum bibliographic information in Romanised format. This is to help the library staff, which does not know the language/script, to handle the book easily. Each book supplied by DK to a library on blanket order, whether in English or in any other Indian language, is accompanied by the MARC21 records. United States Books

INDenhanceR, a new product created by our Software Division, is a tool for enhancing MARC records with Indian/South Asian scripts. It is used for enhancing MARC records with Tag 880 (Alternate Graphic Representation) in the original script of the book using Unicode. Using INDenhanceR is simple: the librarian has to simply open a file containing various MARC records of one particular language, run the batch conversion process and save the file. The software can be used as a MARC records editor as well. You can convert MARC-8 records into UTF-8 using it. Among its salient features are that it works on the basis of Unicode for worldwide usage and works strictly according to ALA-LC Romanisation tables (a standard transliterations scheme approved by the Library of Congress and American Library Association). It is available for all the major Indian languages and can be customised as per customers’ needs.

With introduction of computers in DK in 1986, we switched over to an online cataloguing environment from 1991, coming out with the USMARC records in 1996 and ushering in the MARC21 later.

South Asia Books| Indian Books

Indian Books dkagencies.com A remarkable addition to the MARC21 records has been the inclusion of Tag 880. Tag 880 denotes Alternate Graphic Representation of another field in the same record, which would be the script of various Indian languages in which we deal with. With the aid of our experts, we have developed our in-house software through which we can produce Tag 880 for records of all the books in the Indian languages that are not in Roman script. The significance of Tag 880 is that with this, librarians and end users can search, locate and file a book. We have made available this feature for South Asian books as well for a minimal additional cost. Tag 880s are generated in UTF-8 so that most systems can support it. Tag 880 is available for all the Indian/South Asian languages: Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Nepali, Oriya, Punjabi, Sanskrit, Telugu, Tibetan and Urdu.

Kannada Books

kannada books- |dkagencies.com| Indian Books Often, libraries have old collections of books or other material in South Asian languages that are reflected poorly or not at all on their catalogue databases. In such a case, we offer to provide MARC21 records for such collections. This is our Retrospective Conversion (Retrocon) Services. This is immensely significant as it helps a library to retrospectively catalogue its material, which otherwise may exist unrecorded and so be of no use. Be it a large library or a small library or a consortium, we, with our technical background in the field of library science, have proved capable of providing Retrocon Services. The kind of Retrocon services we offer include conversion of records in paper/card format into electronic records (MARC21 formats using AACR-II R and cataloguing of books that are awaiting cataloguing. There is no need to forward the  kannada books in dkagencies  to the libraries in the latter case; some elementary procedures would be required and it is then entirely upon our hands to create the desired records. The old records in ANSI/Marc-8 can be converted into Unicode/UTF-8 for libraries without burdening them with any additional work.
