| Abstract | Students for the Master of Science degree at the Weizmann Institute of Science are obliged to spend the first year of the two-year program doing three-month rotations through three different laboratories in any of the various faculties at the Institute. In 1998, Na'aman Kam rotated through my laboratory in the Department of Immunology where he did molecular modeling of an antibody (1). His next rotation, he told me, would be with David Harel in the Department of Computer Science and Applied Mathematics. When you get there, said I, tell David Harel about the immune system and ask him two questions: Is the immune system a computer? If a computer scientist would set out to build a computer capable of doing what the immune system does, what kind of computer would it have to be? Connecting Computer and Biological Sciences The questions (or to be more accurate, the student who transmitted them) led to a continuing collaboration with David Harel catalyzed by joint Master's, Doctoral and Post-doctoral students who have worked to combine computer science and biological systems: After Na'aman Kam came Sol Efroni (2-4), Naamah Swerdlin (5), Yaki Setty, Hila Amir-Kroll, and Avital Sadot. Students can be a boon to inter-disciplinary research because, being unencumbered by expertise, they fearlessly lead (or carry) their supervisors into unfamiliar territories. |

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.
