| Abstract | The IDC community is lucky in several respects. As technology moves on at a rate which many adult users find alarming, our child users embrace it with confidence and pleasure. In fact, when involved in a design team in an appropriate way, they can offer insightful advice on how to harness technological developments in new applications. As many of us have discovered, design sessions with children are never dull; part of the pleasure of working with this approach is that we are often genuinely surprised --- and delighted --- by their contributions. When given the opportunity to be involved in the design and evaluation of the technology they use in their every day lives, children have a lot to say which is worth hearing. The community is growing up. Since the first workshop (organised jointly by Tilde Bekker and Panos Markopoulos) in Eindhoven in 2002, we have worked together on a palette of design and evaluation methodologies and arrived at a clearer understanding of the circumstances under which particular approaches are effective. We have applied theoretical frameworks from other disciplines to predict the potential benefits of new technologies. We have explored a wide spectrum of emerging technologies to support children in playful and educational tasks at school, at home or in the community. This year we have contributions from researchers who are investigating exciting possibilities in tangible interfaces, games and software which enables children to express their creativity in all kinds of ways. Children with special needs have not been forgotten; there is growing expertise in effective practices for designing for and working with such users. IDC 2007 called for long papers, short papers, posters and demos reporting experimental results, case studies, reviews, design innovations, theoretical developments and reflections on the field. We have accepted 13 long papers (40% acceptance rate) and 14 short papers (34% acceptance rate). We gratefully acknowledge the time invested by our 68 expert reviewers in making these decisions. |

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.
