Abstract
This study addresses the implementation of FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) and CARE (Collective benefit, Authority to control, Responsibility, Ethics) principles in managing the indigenous knowledge within libraries of Assam. Through review of literature and surveys using questionnaires, it assesses the current status of indigenous knowledge management in surveyed libraries. The study also appraises the integration of FAIR and CARE principles in Acquiring, Preserving, and Disseminating Indigenous Knowledge dataset. The findings from the study highlight the challenges faced by libraries such as limited access to knowledge, limitation of funding, lack of specific protocols/guidelines, and insufficiently trained staff to handle ethical and cultural concerns. The study also offers recommendations to enhance the implementation of FAIR and CARE principles for preserving and disseminating Indigenous knowledge effectively.
