| Abstract | Knowledge workers are living in an ever-connected world with information technology supporting many kinds of collaboration. This enables substantial flexibility -- working with others is no longer restricted to taking place in offices, but happens in geographically distributed locations (such as Asia and North America) and in all sorts of locales from the home, to the coffee shop, to the commuter train, and even while on the go walking down the street. Collaboration not only happens across space (at a distance as well as locally), but also across time (both synchronously and asynchronously). With the power and flexibility comes a downside, however; namely, constant notifications, which often result in interruptions. One research study estimated that unnecessary interruptions consume 28 percent of a knowledge worker's day (Spira and Feintuch, 2005). Another study showed that interrupting users with many non-critical events lowers productivity and cause stress and frustration (Mark et al., 2008). Notifications come in many forms, including email messages, instant messages, phone calls (some of which can be delivered in multiple different ways across the personal computer), various forms of mobile devices and even simply a phone call on a traditional land line. |

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.
