| Abstract | Participatory design fosters the integration of users into the process of generating new products and services. Although a relatively well established technique known to result in useful and usable outcomes, one of its widely recognized limitations is that these outcomes generally lack innovativeness. A probable reason for this is that it integrates individuals possessing typical needs and desires as a platform for generating products and services. By contrast the lead user method known to result in innovative outcomes enables the integration of lead users who possess future needs as opposed to current and typical ones. Therefore, integrating them into participatory design could increase the innovativeness of outcomes. However, mechanisms to recruit lead users are relatively undeveloped, with them vitally including the identification of lead user trends and needs. Furthermore, this complex and incorporated identification process for these lead user trends and needs is largely unexplored, which emphasizes the requirements for studies that not only attempt to extend, but also demystify it for practitioners within alternate domains like participatory design. Consequently, this study, details the process used to identify lead user trends and needs, and provides guidelines of how to recruit lead users for participatory design using it. Finally, methods adopted within this study involved consulting secondary sources of data, and undertaking sixteen semi-structured interviews with market and technology experts. |

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.
