| Abstract | There's been a lot of change for SIGITE over the years -- growth in membership, increased cooperation with other SIGs, sponsorship of affiliated conferences, and new IT programs from around the world contributing to a steadily enhanced stature for IT as a computing subarea, just to name a few. Last year's inauguration of the Research in Information Technology (RIIT) conference as a co-located event with the annual SIGITE conference is one change that has proved warranted, given the number and quality of the submissions we received this year and last. The RIIT thread complements the more widely known and more heavily subscribed SIGITE conference, given the increased interest industry continues to show in partnering with academia to address collaboratively applied research advances in areas related to our five curricular pillars. As Dave Armitage and Jeff Brewer wrote in last year's Program Chairs' message, "With a hands-on flavor and stronger connections with industry, [research in IT] is clearly differentiating itself from research in more traditional computing disciplines, and is deserving of its own conference venue." As authors and reviewers no doubt noticed, we changed conference management systems this year. Several years ago, Grinnell University's Henry Walker was kind enough to mirror his databases and web forms used to organize SIGCSE to accommodate SIGITE, and we appreciate his consistent support. This year, however, we opted for change in this area, too. Colleagues in SIGKDD developed and manage the Microsoft CMT application we selected to use. Although there were a few bumps in the transition, most of our contributors and volunteers found it to be an easy-to-use system. 12 RIIT reviewers made recommendations on 24 submissions to RIIT, and 64 peer reviewers scored and commented on 70 submissions to SIGITE. The number and substance of these submissions, in relation to the venue of this year's conferences, provided yet other opportunities for change in the conferences. These include providing more panel discussions, more workshops and more time allotted for individual paper presentations. As interest grows in SIGITE/RIIT, we're able to be more selective and more inclusive at the same time. 28 technical papers will be presented at SIGITE, which will significantly reduce our acceptance rate from a 6-year average of 54% to 40% this year, while RIIT's acceptance rate came in at 50%. We are able to provide inclusivity by offering 24 authors - a four-fold increase over last year - the opportunity to present their work as poster papers that are included in the ACM Digital Library. We would like to thank a highly responsive group of 76 peer reviewers, several of whom got tagged late in the process to review more papers than they bargained for. Perhaps the most significant change to the proceedings is that they are available for download to conference registrants for two weeks preceding and two weeks following the conference dates, thus providing more opportunity for conversation among authors and attendees. From a community building perspective, this is a tremendous opportunity for advancement provided by the ACM Publications Board. As you look through the schedule of events, you'll notice that we have doubled the panel session time from 30 to 60 minutes, and these panels will run concurrently and not opposite any technical papers, so you can participate and contribute to the topic that is most important to you. We have also moved the workshops to Saturday morning in an attempt to make the best use of a time block that in the past has not been well attended. We know that Orlando attractions beckon, but please consider taking advantage of the workshops. All of us on the organizing committees would like to hear from you about these changes so that we can continue to innovate and provide SIGITE/RIIT attendees with the best experience possible. We welcome you to SIGITE 2013 and RIIT 2013. Engage the panels and the paper and poster authors, meet new colleagues and reengage with old friends. Thanks for attending!. |

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.
