| Abstract | The university computing services newsletter is the most effective, efficient and consistent way to reach the largest number of computer users. It can also be more than a way to disseminate technical information and news to computer users. The newsletter is tangible evidence of the activities of computing services staff both for end-users and university administrators. It serves as a record of the progress of the computing services, provides incentive for staff to complete projects in a timely manner and signifies a commitment by the computing services to a stable end-user environment.In 1986, Tulane Computing Services (TCS) went from intermittent production of a newsletter which received little attention from users to a six-times yearly, professional quality publication which has attracted the attention of the University computing community, University administrators and computing services and libraries at other universities. There were eight key factors involved in this transition: (1) management commitment (financial, technical and personnel) to a professional quality newsletter; (2) access to state-of-the-art desktop publishing technology; (3) increased staff commitment to the publication; (4) cooperation with the administrative department responsible for all University publications; (5) development of a consistent newsletter format compatible with that used for all TCS publications; (6) dedication to providing a stable end-user environment; (7) increased access to information from computing services administrators, systems programmers and operations staff; and (8) the hiring of an individual with graphics design and computer expertise who was primarily responsible for all desktop publishing done within the computing services. |

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.
