These are books in the twenty-two major languages of South Asia selected by a group of Indian scholars for their central importance to humanistic understanding of India As of April 2000, 22,000 titles have been microfilmed. More than 18,000 of these books are fully cataloged and can be searched through the NBIL search page [http://dsal.uchicago.edu/cgi-bin/nbil.py] at DSAL or through the Center for Research Libraries' catalog."
