| Abstract | At Bethesda, Maryland, the National Library of Medicine has a large array of heterogenous data processing equipment dispersed over ten floors in the Lister Hill Center and four floors in the Library Building. The National Library of Medicine decided to implement a more flexible, expansible access medium (Local Area Network (LAN) to handle the rapid growth in the number of local and remote users and the changing requirements. This is a dual coaxial cable communications system designed using cable television (CATV) technology. One cable, the outbound cable, transfers information between the headend and the user locations. The other cable, the inbound cable, transfers information from the user locations to the headend. This system will permit the distribution of visual and digital information on a single medium. On-line devices, computers, and a technical control system network control center are attached to the LAN through BUS Interface Units (BIUs). The technical control system will collect statistical and status information concerning the traffic, BIUs, and system components. The BIUs will, at fixed intervals, transmit status information to the technical control. The Network Control Centers (NCC) will provide network directory information for users of the system, descriptions of the services available, etc. A X.25 gateway BIU will interface the LAN to the public networks (Telenet and Tymnet) and to X.25 host computer systems. |

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.
