| Abstract | The demonstration model of an on-line management system presented in this paper aims to provide increased management capability to executives charged with planning and control of large scale research development and production programs. The technique is formulated as an exercise in Decision Gaming and special emphasis is laid to the problem of providing capability for quick and optimum reprogramming of dollars, manpower, facilities and other resources. The task of planning and control is structured into two components, the more routine tasks are assigned to the equipment, whereas problems requiring executive judgment are delegated to players of the Decision Game. Through the use of mathematical models and computer routines the consequences of proposed reprogramming actions are presented to the players in terms of financial and manpower requirements, facilities loading, etc. Through a step by step man-machine process, optimum programs and the best utilization of resources is reached. Management data is retrieved and manipulated on an on-line basis and all operations of the equipment are executed through every day English commands. All data is displayed on cathode ray tubes and projection screens, including instructions to the players on how to operate the equipment and how to play the Decision Game. Input to the equipment is provided through (1) a permanently labeled keyboard, (2) a blind keyboard that can be provided with appropriate labels through a set of plastic overlays. The computer action resulting from depressing of keys must be programmed and is not wired permanently. By providing a set of independently operated input-output consoles, connected on-line to the same computer system, a significant advance in the art of the design of management systems is provided. |

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.
