| Abstract | Alvin Chin is a Member of Research Staff at Nokia Research Center (NRC), Beijing, working in the Mobile Social Networking group. Alvin recently completed his PhD in Computer Science from the University of Toronto where he worked under Professor Mark Chignell. His PhD thesis was entitled "Social Cohesion Analysis of Networks: A Novel Method for Identifying Cohesive Subgroups in Social Hypertext" where he created a framework for automatically identifying influential members in subgroups from online social networks. At NRC Beijing, Alvin's research involves creating novel solutions that use the cell phone and context to participate and integrate with other users and online social networks, and enabling an intuitive user experience for social networking. He graduated with a Bachelors degree in Computer Engineering and a Masters degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Waterloo. He has worked 2.5 years full time in industry researching emerging technologies in the wireless and pervasive computing area, especially Bluetooth and 802.11. His current research interests include social networking, computer-supported collaborative work, context-aware computing, and pervasive computing. Alvin is an active user of social networking and Web 2.0 technologies. He can be contacted at alvin.chin@nokia.com, and blogs frequently at http://www.alvinychin.com/blog. |

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.
