The study focuses on the attempts made for the preservation of the resources relating to the history, science, art, culture, heritage, language, literature, economy and politics of the Kerala state. The paper emphasizes the need for digitization, the policy and criteria adopted for selecting the documents for digitization, the digitization process, and the digital preservation methods carried out by the Kerala University Library. The study attempts an analysis of the digitized documents. The need for coordinating the digitization efforts of various universities and institutions is also stressed in the paper.Keywords

This study shows that the dominant mutation of Extension locus in the recessive locus of the agouti Indian three-striped palm squirrel results in constituting an active or hyperactive receptor. This is not inhibited by the agouti antagonist or agouti signalling protein, resulting in melanism. To the best of our knowledge, there is no earlier report of a melanic variant (black) of a three-striped palm squirrel (Funambulus palmarum Linn.) from India. The colour change is due to mutation and is traced to melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R) gene, where it is proved to be a sequence alteration causing a frame shift in the Extension locus of the wild type. This would have probably caused the constitutive activation of MC1R.Keywords
