| Abstract | As computers expand further and further into all academic communities, so must the user services group. However, this expansion places a burden on a centralized computer center, and therefore, it is not surprising to see a trend developing in many large universities where the primary user services function is transferred from the main computer center to colleges and departments within the university. This results in the main computer center providing secondary user services and the college or department providing primary user services. Such is the situation at the University of South Carolina. The University is the largest in the State of South Carolina with approximately 35,000 students enrolled. For many years certain computing services functions have been the responsibility of the various colleges within the university, although the main computing center provides some short courses on programming languages, programming packages, and utilities plus, a newsletter, limited consulting, and technical support. The bulk of the teaching, consulting, and dissemination of information is the responsibility of the individual colleges within the university. This paper will discuss the problems encountered in establishing an individual college computing center as well as its advantages and disadvantages based on our experiences at the college or department level. |

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.
