| Abstract | Sens-Us is an interactive installation that aims to rethink the UK census and explore how collecting census data can be more dynamic and localized. It explores how the census can become more integrated in our everyday lives and more citizen-lead, and it starts to imagine how this can change the relationship between citizens and the state. Sens-Us consists of a set of five interactive physical input stations, which ask questions in five different themes that are relevant to civic lives: demographics, health, belonging, place, and trust. For each theme we explore what data people are willing to disclose and with whom, and what information they feel should be available to them. We also aim to give people insight into how sharing their data can be beneficial for the common good, and explore how this changes their views on data sharing. Participants are first given a smart card which they insert in each station to register their answers to a specific card ID and subsequently answer questions using physical sliders and buttons. There is further a visualization station in which people can insert their card to view how their data compares to an aggregate of the collected data from all participants. Sens-Us was created in partnership with the Civic Workshop and the British Council and has been deployed in Somerset House in London throughout January and February 2015 as part of a Civic Bureau exhibition. We feel this installation fits very well in the HCI 2015 conference theme as it explores how interactive technology can mediate our civic lives. |

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.
