Access to such fugitive, invisible, ephemeral micro information is always difficult for research scholars, scientists and faculty members. Acquisition, organization and maintenance of grey documents is one of the toughest tasks for librarians in special libraries.

The tracing of those micro documents needs the subject expertise on the part of librarian and his staff. Documentation work has highlighted the importance of these documents and the digital technology facilitates their availability nationally and internationally.

They wish to falsify the view that literature leaves the world as it is. They wish to change the world.

Through literature they are re-examining and redefining their place in Indian society. Dalit literature primarily focuses on fundamental human rights and human values.
