| Abstract | In 1995, the 'first symposium' of the South African Institute for Computer Scientists and Information Technologists (SAICSIT) was hosted at the University of South Africa (UNISA) under the presidency of Prof Lerine Steenkamp, who welcomed the delegates to 'this forum for the exchange of ideas and results on research and development in the disciplines of Computer Science, Software Engineering and Information Systems'. SAICSIT had succeeded the former 'SAICS' and the preface to the proceedings emphasised the need to acknowledge the interrelationships between the various focus areas in the broader field of Information Technology. Seventeen years later, the same disciplines are playing prominent roles in SAICSIT 2012, with the focus areas of Human-Computer Interaction and ICT for Development also coming to the forefront. This befits the current ethos of mobile and ubiquitous computing by laymen, as well as professionals, and the social milieu of contemporary South African and African society. A further link to the first conference in 1995 is the role played and resources contributed by Unisa's Centre for Software Engineering (CENSE), currently under the management of Prof Andre van der Poll. Under the leadership of Prof Paula Kotzé, Unisa has subsequently hosted or co-hosted three other SAICSIT conferences. |

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.
