| Abstract | Online Social Networks (OSNs) provide a unique opportunity for researchers to study how a combination of technological, economical, and social forces have been conspiring to provide a service that has attracted the largest user population in the history of the Internet. With more than half a billion of users and counting, OSNs have the potential to impact almost every aspect of networking, including measurement and performance modeling and analysis, network architecture and system design, and privacy and user behavior, to name just a few. However, much of the existing OSN research literature seems to have lost sight of this unique opportunity and has avoided dealing with the new challenges posed by OSNs. We argue in this position paper that it is high time for OSN researcher to exploit and face these challenges to provide a basic understanding of the OSN ecosystem as a whole. Such an understanding has to reflect the key role users play in this system and must focus on the system's dynamics, purpose and functionality when trying to illuminate the main technological, economic, and social forces at work in the current OSN revolution. |

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.
