Have a look at the Bihar Niche Collection at UVa slide show. This is one of the niche collections being developed under the South Asia Coooperative Collection Development organization which has the goal to develop global collections of South Asian research resources which support and enhance scholarship. South Asian scholars might be interested in a Presentation I
did at the recent South Asia Conference’s Friday morning’s (12 October 2018) librarian’s
meeting of the South Asian Cooperative Collection Development group.
Each member institution has decided to designate a particular research area they
are committed to specialize in collecting resources. Have a look at the other niche collections which 21 institution have selected as their specialized collection - at https://guides.lib.utexas.edu/c.php?g=855906&p=6197041.
The University of Virginia selected Bihar as its niche collection in 2014. You will see the Bihar Niche collection Presentation
I created and talked about at Bihar Niche Collection at UVA. (You may use the controls at the bottom
left of the slide pages if you wish to stop the “5-seconds per slide” show.)
The Presentation is also listed on the web
page of our recent SACOOP Workshop report https://guides.lib.utexas.edu/c.php?g=855906&p=6130503.
Mary Rader of the University of Texas also gave a presentation of their niche collection. See her information at Popular and Pulp Fiction.
