| Abstract | In recent years, the languages, paradigms, and tools used to teach computer science have become increasingly complex. This added complexity puts pressure on designers of introductory courses, who must cover more material in an already overcrowded syllabus. The problem of complexity is exacerbated by the fact that languages and tools change quickly, which leads to profound instability in the manner in which computer science is taught. The situation has reached a point where it is difficult for individual computer science teachers to keep up. This paper examines the factors that promote complexity and instability in computer science. It then goes on to argue that we, as educators, must take responsibility for breaking this cycle of rapid obsolescence by developing a stable and effective collection of Java-based teaching resources that will meet the needs of the computer science education community. Such an initiative is already in progress under the direction of a special task force appointed by the ACM Education Board. The charter and current plans for that task force are being presented in a special session at this symposium. |

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.
