Dear Sapna Bandi
Just now i go through your mail regarding digital library. I would like to suggest the following:
1. Digital Library - with the help GSDL (Greenstone Digital Library) software you can able to build the electronic repository and provide the easy access of users and faculty.
2. eCatalgue - with help of CDS/ISIS, able to develop.
Both software are open source and we must to learn something and then build the collections. You have mentioned your library is based on School. There is a lot of free books in online for school students and also buy some books and include the collection.
If you need any further information and help feel free contact me.
With kind regards
