| Abstract | Years of experience have revealed deficiencies in APL's traditional library structure and its facilities for managing saved workspaces. As part of the development of a new file system, STSC undertook to resolve these deficiencies in a revised design. The rules governing the use of shared workspaces have been broadened and placed under the control of an access matrix, giving the user great flexibility in controlling how invidual workspaces are used. APL libraries have been generalized and likewise placed under access-matrix control. System facilities are provided that allow any workspace-management action to be performed under program control. The concept of the APL workspace has hardly changed since the earliest APL systems; it is worthwhile to wonder why. To programmers weary from battling the job control languages of that era's operating systems, the workspace must have seemed a concept of charming and startling simplicity. To the computer novice, who found in APL a shortcut through the maze of technical lore, the notion of the workspace was quickly assimilated into intuition. |

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.
