PITB to launch e-library app for online reading

Since public and private organisations including schools and libraries have been closed due to smart lockdown, a large number of readers accessed Punjab Digital Library for reading, research and writing purposes. Keeping this in view, the Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB) is planning to provide online facilities and services by developing a mobile app with features including e-Books, Digital content, e-Catalogue, and secure online free and paid reading facility. For this purpose, PITB signed MoUs with nine organisations including Urdu Digest, Ferozsons, Afaq, Evolve, Hina, monthly Jugmag Taare magazine, V-Shine magazine, ModelMag and She magazine to launch e-library app containing educative and informative digitised content including encyclopaedias, books and periodicals. The PITB will also launch a paid reading facility for the latest publications. PITB e-Governance Director General Sajid Latif signed MoUs on behalf of the Punjab Information Technology Board at Arfa Software Technology Park on Tuesday.
