| Abstract | Food is not a finite resource, nor is the land it is cultivated on. Future generations will have to find creative ways to integrate production, marketing, distribution and technology in such a way that optimal usage of scarce food resources is achieved. Efficient fresh produce markets and specifically efficient electronic food spot markets of the future could play a central role in stimulating, coordinating and optimizing the flow of food across multiple geographical regions towards a growing urbanised population. But traditional approaches to the integration of technology might need to change. Information technology systems will need to play a much more prominent role than just facilitating sales transactions. In order to establish electronic fresh produce spot markets of the future, we require a deeper understanding of how broader institutional trust signals are to be facilitated through technology interfaces. This article explores the relationship between the use of self-service technology and the institutional environment emphasising the importance of understanding the relationship between technology's use and the specific institutional forces governing trust forming behaviour. |

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.
