| Abstract | This paper describes a general cost-benefit decision model that is applicable to the evaluation, comparison, and selection of alternative products with a multiplicity of features, such as complex computer systems. The application of this model is explained and illustrated using the selection of data management systems as an example.The model has the following features: (1) it is mathematically based on an extended continuous logic and a theory of complex criteria; (2) the decision-making procedure is very general yet systematic, well-structured, and quantitative; (3) the technique is based on a comprehensive cost analysis and an elaborate analysis of benefits expressed in terms of the decision maker's preferences. The decision methodology, when applied to the problem of selecting a data management system, takes into consideration the life cycle of a DMS and the objectives and goals for the new systems under evaluation. It allows the cost and preference analyses to be carried out separately using two different models. The model for preference analysis makes use of comprehensive performance (or preference) parameters and allows what we call a “logic scoring of preferences” using continuous values between zero and one, to express the degree with which candidate systems satisfy stated requirements. It aggregates preference parameters based on their relative weights and logical relationships to compute a global performance (preference) score for each system. The cost model incorporates an aggregation of costs which may be estimated over different time horizons and discounted at appropriate discount rates. A procedure to establish an overall ranking of alternative systems based on their global preference scores and global costs is also discussed. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
