| Abstract | The Census Use Study (CUS) was established in September 1966 in New Haven, Connecticut. The emphasis of the study is on small area data, i.e., data relevant to areas smaller than a city. The CUS took the lead in geocoding by developing the DIME file and ADMATCH, an address matching system. The CUS at New Haven also developed the Health Information System to provide health planners with powerful statistical tools. In July, 1969, the Southern California Regional Information Study (SCRIS) was established in the Los Angeles area in order to transfer the experience gained at New Haven to a large urban area. SCRIS is continuing the geocoding work begun at New Haven and has embarked into other fields, while continuing to improve existing computer programs. For instance, SCRIS has produced an IBM 360/OS and an RCA SPECTRA 70 version of ADMATCH. A computer mapping system was also developed at SCRIS from the basic research activities carried on at New Haven. Investigations have begun on several other fronts including an extension of a fallout shelter study, the Summary Tape Retrieval Information Processor (STRIP), a generalized file matching system, and several special purpose tools related to small area data and geocoding. In addition, the New Haven CUS and SCRIS have produced a series of publications on these and other related topics for public information. SCRIS is producing a series of transportation related publications, which should be of interest to most transportation planners. |

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.
