| Abstract | Existing research on Internet censorship primarily focuses on either measurements or circumvention. Considering these two in isolation often leads to designs with limited capabilities: Circumvention is not driven by measurement data and end users find little incentive to help gather such data. We present the preliminary design and implementation of C-Saw, a platform that offers both. The circumvention capability of C-Saw incentivizes consumers to opt-in. As more and more consumers crowdsource, the monitoring data gets richer. This, in turn, offers greater insights into the censorship mechanisms over a wider region, offering even better circumvention capabilities. C-Saw is a browser-based platform set up as a lightweight client-side proxy. C-Saw adapts its circumvention approach to the particular censorship mechanism deployed by a user's ISP, achieving a better balance of circumvention effectiveness and performance. In addition, it can also leverage the heterogeneity in filtering mechanisms across ISPs to achieve better circumvention performance. We demonstrate this using page load times across various ISPs and locations in a censored region. Unlike previous measurement approaches, C-Saw does not require the knowledge of a target URL to be tested. In fact, as URLs get blocked, their information can be monitored in real time. |

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.
