| Abstract | THE CHEMICAL ABSTRACTS SERVICE is a non-profit organization started in 1906 under the guidance of the American Chemical Society. The main activity of CAS, from its inception, has been to make the results of chemical information universally available. Until 1957 these objectives were met solely through the publication of printed abstracts, indexes, and other supporting material. In 1957 the CAS Research and Development Division was formed. Since that time the means of providing chemical information have been broadened to include computer-based express publications, customized alerting services, and a store of current and past chemical information in a computer processable form. Through use of the computer, information can be adapted to the needs of individuals and organization, and in-depth retrospective searching is made possible. In 1964 CAS announced a long-range plan aimed at the installation of a national chemical information system. This paper describes the computer elements of that overall plan and speculates as to future improvements and extensions. Due to the massive amounts of information that must be processed, the plan has been oriented to the use of computers wherever possible and practical. The network of computer systems, when completed, will provide for the composition of current publications as well as for the integration of currently published material with computer-based information retrieval services. The first 3 illustrations show some of the basic publications. |

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.
