| Abstract | Due to a lack of increase in departmental funding, the Pennington Biomedical Research Center departments of Computing Services and Library Services are continually looking for ways to increase efficiency and productivity without the increase of personnel and resources. A continual need for office space in the research facility was at a critical point in the year 2000. Computing Services and Library Services worked together to develop an arrangement that was beneficial to both departments: the move of the Computer Lab and Training Area to the Library Services public access area, and a change in the way technical support was offered to the community of PBRC computer users.This collaborative project was just the beginning of a long-lasting relationship between the two departments, and has provided users with exceptional if non-traditional services from the Library and Computing Services departments. With the success of this first merger, these two departments have proceeded to undertake many other collaborative projects. Some of these projects have been completed while others are in the planning / development stages. The list of projects, past and present include:Space SharingComputer Lab Support and End User Hardware Usage TrainingPortal Project / Intranet DevelopmentMaintenance of PINE Usage ReportsWireless ImplementationLibrary Users Survey DevelopmentSoftware Training Class OfferingsGrant Application SubmissionLibrary Integrated Online System DevelopmentBoth areas continue to act as independent departments while finding that they are still very dependent on the other; the interactions of the two departments continue and the relationship thrives. This paper will take you through the steps that were used during the first collaborative effort between the two departments to merge the resources of the Computing Learn Lab and Training Area with the existing Library Services public access area. The paper will also discuss each of the other collaborative projects during the discovery, planning, and implementation phases. |

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.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
