| Abstract | Since mid-1992, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Mission Control Center (MCC) in Houston has pursued commonality and consolidation of facilities and equipment to reduce the implementation costs associated with the modernization of the control center, as well as the on-going operations and sustaining costs. In December of 1993, a management team, comprised almost entirely of individuals with manned spaceflight operations experience, was given the charter of completing the development. Past practices and conventional thinking have been set aside in an effort to deliver the new control center “better, faster, and cheaper”. This new paradigm has carried-over to the engineering associated with securing the control center's information resources. The group originally tasked with ensuring the security of the MCC's information resources was not directly associated with development or operations of the MCC, and thus had lost sight of the fact that the MCC's mission is the command and control of space vehicles, not the pursuit of information security. Under the new paradigm for control center development, responsibility for ensuring system security and integrity has been brought into the development organization. Old methods and approaches to security have been replaced by a new approach which emphasizes the implementation of an automated information systems security architecture that is both logical and cost effective.In both Government, and industry, it is common for those tasked with information security responsibilities to be separated from the mainstream of engineering. This separation often results in conflict during requirements definition, design, implementation and testing. The following is a case study of such an information security organization, and process, run amok. It also discusses the steps required to bring the process back into line with the goals of cost-effective development and operation. |

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.
