| Abstract | I have been in Higher Ed IT for almost 20 years. I believe in the "KISS" principle. Keep it Simple, Stupid has been my mantra for some time. It is easy in our modern world to throw money at a technology to do that one thing that helps us in our work. The problem is that those "one things" tend to accumulate over time to become an unwieldy mess. Over the last few years I have noticed that I use less and less individual software, tools and techniques than I have in the past and have honed my computing to a minimal level to get more and more completed. I have pruned my work life down to the bare essentials. In doing so, I have gained control of my workday. I now have the opportunity to pursue other skills and duties that I would not have otherwise had time to attempt Whether it is via laptop, tablet or phone, I find myself using the tools and skills that allow me to get what I need done with minimal effort and then focus on other duties. I find that other aspects of my work life have adapted as well. This paper or discussion will expand on my mantra of minimal computing to maximize work/life balance. |

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.
