Abstract The Automated Desk is an online, spatial interface to a time-shared computer utility. It supports a user in organizing, locating, and handling computerized information and tools. Naive computer users benefit from the ability to use the power of an operating system without knowing operating system commands. Experienced programmers benefit from the ability to “browse” a large number of “virtual terminals,” each running instances of various software programs. All users benefit from the ability to access computer-resident information while retaining the familiar visual orientation of the office desk. The user sees his “desk top” through an intelligent display terminal that is connected to a host computer. The desk top is a large flat surface about 100 times the size of an ordinary desk top. On it, the user can place objects in groupings that are meaningful to him. Processes can be associated with these objects to perform any online information handling function. The Automated Desk is a derivative of the Spatial Data Management System (SDMS) implemented by Computer Corporation of America. In the Automated Desk, the essential SDMS concepts of spatial organization and pictorial identification are implemented in simple ways on equipment of modest cost. The objective of the Automated Desk is to put key SDMS-like capabilities into an inexpensive product that runs on widely-available equipment. It is intended for widespread use in practical applications.

About National Digital Library of India (NDLI)
NDLI logo

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.
