CURATION AND MANAGEMENT OF CULTURAL HERITAGE THROUGH LIBRARIES
Libraries, museums and archives hold valuable collections in a variety of media, presenting a vast
body of knowledge rooted in the history of human civilisation. These form the repository of the
wisdom of great works by thinkers of past and the present. The holdings of these institutions are
priceless heritage of the mankind as they preserve documents, ideas, and the oral and written
records. To value the cultural heritage and to care for it as a treasure bequeathed to us by our
ancestors is the major responsibility of libraries. The past records constitute a natural resource
and are indispensable to the present generation as well as to the generations to come. Libraries
preserve the documentary heritage resources for which they are primarily responsible. Any loss of
such materials is simply irreplaceable. Therefore, preserving this intellectual, cultural heritage
becomes not only the academic commitment but also the moral responsibility of the
librarians/information scientists, who are in charge of these repositories.
The high quality of the papers and the discussion represent the thinking and experience of experts
in their particular fields. The contributed papers also relate to the methodology used in libraries
in Asia to provide access to manuscripts and cultural heritage. The volume discusses best practices
in Knowledge preservation and how to collaborate and preserve the culture. The book also deals with
manuscript and archives issues in the digital era.
The approach of this book is concise, comprehensively, covering all major aspects of preservation
and conservation through libraries. The readership of the book is not just limited to library and
information science professionals, but also for those involved in conservation, preservation,
restoration or other related disciplines. The book will be useful for librarians, archivists and
conservators.

and International Committee for their reviewing effort for making this publication possible
A flavone from Eucalyptus deglupta
Chemical investigations of the dichloromethane extract of the twigs of Eucalyptus deglupta (Blume) led to the isolation of 5-hydroxy-7,4\u27-dimethoxy-6,8-dimethylflavone (1). The structure of 1 was elucidated by extensive 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy
Terpenoids from Eucalyptus deglupta
Chemical investigations of the dichloromethane extracts of the leaves of Eucalyptus deglupta (Blume) led to the isolation of nerolidol (1), ursolic acid (2), oleanolic acid (3), and squalene (4), while the twigs yielded 2-4. The structures of 1-4 were identified by comparison of their 1H and/or 13C NMR data with those reported in the literature

Chemical investigation of the dichloromethane extracts of Ficus ampelas Burm.f. has led to the isolation of squalene (1), mixtures of β-amyrin fatty acid esters (2a) and a-amyrin fatty acid esters (2b) in a 1:2 ratio and β-sitosterol (3a) and stigmasterol (3b) in a 2:1 ratio, chlorophyll a (4), and saturated fatty acids (5) from the twigs; and 5, β-sitosteryl-3β-glucopyranoside-6β-O-fatty acid esters (6), and long-chain fatty alcohols (7) from the fruit. The structures of 1-7 were identified by comparison of their NMR data with those reported in the literature
Chemical constituents of Duranta erecta L. flowers
Chemical investigation of the dichloromethane extract of the flowers of Duranta erecta L. has led to the isolation of oleanolic acid (1), a mixture of α-amyrin (2a) and β-amyrin (2b) in a 3:1 ratio, phytyl fatty acid esters (3), and triacylglycerols (4), The structures of 1-4b were identified by comparison of their NMR data with literature data
Chemical constituents of Polyscias nodosa
Chemical investigation of the dichloromethane extracts of Polyscias nodosa (Bl.) Seem. yielded squalene (1), phytyl fatty acid esters (2), lutein (3), and β-sitosteryl-3β-glucopyranoside-6\u27-O-palmitate (4) from the leaves; and 1, triacylglycerols (5), and a mixture of stigmasterol (6a) and β-sitosterol (6b) in a 5:1 ratio from the twigs. The structures of 1-6b were identified by comparison of their NMR data with those reported in the literature
Chemical constituents of Melanolepis multiglandulosa (Reinw. Ex blume)
Chemical investigation of the dichloromethane extracts of Melanolepis multiglandulosa (Reinw. ex Blume) yielded taraxeryl fatty acid esters (1), squalene (2), (E)-3-alkenoic acids (3), β-carotene (4), a mixture of β-sitosterol (5a) and stigmasterol (5b), long-chain fatty alcohols (6), and long-chain hydrocarbons (7) from the leaves; and 7, triacylglycerols (8), and long-chain saturated fatty acid esters (9) from the twigs. The structures of 1-9 were identified by comparison of their NMR data with literature data. © 2016, International Journal of Pharmaceutical and Clinical Research. All rights reserved
Secondary metabolites from Dracontomelon dao (Merr. & Rolfe)
The dichloromethane extract of the leaves of Dracontomelon dao (Merr. & Rolfe) has led to the isolation of anacardic acid (1), β-sitosteryl-3β-glucopyranoside-6\u27-O-fatty acid esters(2), β-sitosterol (3), phytol (4), a mixture of phytyl fatty acid esters (5) and β-sitosteryl fatty acid esters (6), chlorophyll a (7), squalene (8),long-chain fatty alcohols (9), and long-chain hydrocarbons (10). The structures of 1-10were identified by comparison of their NMR data with literature data
Triterpenes and sterols from Sonneratia alba
Chemical investigation of the dichloromethane extract of Sonneratia alba Sm. afforded mixtures of oleanolic acid (1a) and ursolic acid (1b), α-amyrin cinnamate (2a) and β-amyrin cinnamate (2b), and β-sitosterol (3a) and stigmasterol (3b) from the fruit; lupeol (4), and mixtures of 1a and 1b, and 3a and 3b from the twigs; and 1b and squalene (5) from the leaves. The structures of 1-5 were identified by comparison of their NMR data with literature data
