I here by request you to add Osmania University digital library (http://oudl.osmania.ac.in) to bub tool available at https://tools.wmflabs.org/bub/

This library has got quite a lot of PDFs for wide number of Indic languages. I have 2400 books for Kannada alone.

We would like to upload the out of copyright books to internet archive, push it to commons and use OCR tool to take digitization to next level.

Looking forward for a quick help in this regard.

This website is a DSpace instance, have you tried the DSpace option in BUB?

Ok, I tried now with http://oudl.osmania.ac.in/handle/OUDL/16338 and I got:

Sorry, this library does not support the general DSpace standards

which given https://github.com/rohit-dua/BUB/blob/e7e0010176359579646e4e36e24c5eee4a457f1f/digi-lib/usp.py#L125 means the PDF link was not found; the link they have is in the form

<a href="/bitstream/handle/OUDL/16338/232570_ns-bu_alr~ayh_fy_tk%27ryji_ah%27adyvi_alhidayh.pdf?sequence=2" title="232570_ns-bu_alr~ayh_fy_tk'ryji_ah'adyvi_alhidayh.pdf">232570_ns-bu_al ... ryji_ah'adyvi_alhidayh.pdf</a>

we could change the matching of the PDF links for the case where the URL doesn't end with ".pdf". Or you could get the library to upgrade DSpace: they are running 1.6.0 which is from 2011, this bug was fixed in 2013 with version 4.0 https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-1483
