| Abstract | As enrollment in computer science departments continues to increase, institutions are finding it necessary to improve existing computer facilities. Many have chosen the “distributive processing” route whereby one central location handles a major portion of the workload of the schools connected to it, while each of the schools maintain some stand-alone capability. Schools are billed for work that is performed at the network center. In particular, student jobs are charged, whether individually or collectively, to a particular school or department. It is, thus, worthwhile to consider techniques for processing student jobs which will keep operating costs of a department to a minimum. This paper considers an approach that the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga (UTC) has taken to help minimize these costs. An experiment was designed in which, for one semester, students would continue to submit programs through the card reader. The succeeding semester, jobs would be submitted through terminals, i.e. no card punching would be done and students would transmit to Knoxville using the terminals. The “bonus point” method was employed in both cases. The courses selected were FORTRAN AND PL/I, the first two courses in the computer science curriculum and the major users (from UTC) of the network. The FORTRAN class used the WATFIV compiler and included some usage of the structured constructs available. Approximately seventy per cent of the students enrolled in this course were in majors other than computer science. The second course selected was PL/I which used the PL/C compiler at UTK. Approximately ten per cent of the students were non-computer science majors. |

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.
