| Abstract | In July of 1999, Academic Technology Services (ATS) was given a mandate to undertake class-related technology support for faculty in approximately 80 traditional classrooms, a service previously provided by a group responsible for campus audio/visual support. This resulted from faculty making greater use of electronic resources, and finding a disconnect between their curricular development and the capabilities of the existing classroom audio/visual support group. When Academic Technology Services began supporting classroom technology, it inherited classrooms which were under-equipped, a minimal inventory of outdated portable equipment, and a budget that was less than requested.In order to maximize the number of rooms that could be improved at one time, low-cost solutions initially had to be chosen to solve problems such as the ability to have multiple audio and video devices share the sound system and projector. At the same time, upgrades to rooms were designed to be modular whenever possible such that a minimum amount of money would be wasted on stop-gap solutions. In order to address the technical deficiencies of the Classroom Technology group, and also as a reflection of the lessening distinction between computer classrooms and a normal tech-enhanced classroom, the audio/visual group and the group responsible for supporting and maintaining computing labs were merged in 2002. This allowed for in-house cross-training to take place, and also allowed for vastly improved support of laptops in the classroom setting. Today, there are over a dozen high-technology classrooms with a common touch panel interface, all implemented in-house. |

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.
