| Abstract | There is growing recognition that the paradigms of modern scholarship are shifting with the advent of the World Wide Web and other Internet-based forums. In some specialty areas within the discipline of Information Technology, one frequently hears folkloric wisdom suggesting that the turn-around time for print publication is greater than the useful longevity of the content. This situation increasing pushes the consumer of state-of-the art research toward the web rather than to the library. At some universities the problem of evaluating the quality of peer-reviewed literature has been approached through "citation" data. How often is a given work cited, for example, in Science Citation Abstracts? For evaluating web-based research, we suggest a related criterion for evaluating the "eminence" of scholarship. As of February 2003 [1], Google moved into first place as the most popular search engine in the United States. Google's immediate upsurge in popularity is generally attributed to the observation that its searches tend to reveal desired results. This is probably due to the nature of Google's page evaluation methodology. The relevance of a page to a given query is based on the number of other pages using those query terms that provide hyperlinks to the page in question. Since Google's emergence, other search engines have begun to utilize allied methodologies - essentially bootstrapping on existing works as relevance indicators in ways that, in fact, provide at least one form of "citation data." This paper will examine some related methodologies for evaluating quality of web-based academic work, and will examine some of the potential strengths and pitfalls associated with such methods. |

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.
