data capturing method. In this paper an attempted has beenmade to explore the digitization technique
of scanning and converting the title and verso of the title page into optically recognized character for
capturing bibliographic details of a document. The result of the digitization exercise done in this regard

with alternative approaches till either change and consistency in publication style is appealing to the
publishers or changes in OCR software takes place. The same technique however had been explored for
