| Abstract | We can characterize the contemporary ICT-environment as an innovation spiral, with more and more innovative products, services and applications coming to the market, but also with a growing number of them not able to reach mass market or even a large enough market, resulting in a lot of innovations as well as failures. These failures occur with a lacking adoption diffusion but also in terms of the incorporation into the everyday life of the users. Attempts to cope with the inherent uncertainty and increasing complexity in the field of ICT-innovation have influenced the rise of new, user-driven and open innovation-approaches. We contend that the Living Lab-approach can be seen as a systemic, methodological instrument incorporating a number of crucial insights linked to advances in innovation management and user research-literature. Currently however, the literature dealing with the 'user' as key stakeholder in the innovation process is still rather fragmented. Within this paper we review a selection of user typologies that might play an important role for ICT-innovation: adoption diffusion segments, use diffusion segments and Lead Users. We investigate the occurrence of these user roles for an important ICT-innovation that is making its way into mass market adoption, but that however appears to lag behind in terms of use diffusion: digital television. Based on the results and observations, the relevance of these typologies within a Living Lab-research approach and the implications of the similarities and differences between them are discussed. |

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.
