The compilation of a web-bibliography of Rabindranath Tagore by Raja Rammohun Roy Library Foundation is a part of the many projects being launched to pay Homage to Rabindranath Tagore in his Sesquicentennial Birth Anniversary by the Ministry of Culture, Government of India. What is unique about the portal is its interactive nature. We will remain in constant touch with you to add to our collection as you press the ?Add New Data? button to reach us. While we have strived to make the list as exhaustive as possible, we invite you to help us in updating and upgrading the compilation by giving us information through the portal. You may also give us your comments on any particular information through the ?Feedback? button provided with each record. We welcome supplementary information about the publications to enrich the compilation. Accessing any book on Tagore for a browser has been made easy ? a book can be located by its Title, Author, Editor, Genre, Language and Keyword, providing multi-faceted access points. Another unique feature of the bibliography is its ability to furnish the location of a particular publication. The portal will serve as a ready-reckoner for Tagore scholars.
