| Abstract | The proliferation of microcomputers in academic environments has increased interest in using them for statistical computations. In the past many of these computations were done with mainframe or minicomputers using a limited number of highly sophisticated and well supported packages. With the current influx of microcomputer based packages, faculty and researchers are moving their statistical applications from the larger systems to microcomputers. In addition, many faculty and researchers, unfamiliar with large computer systems, are rapidly discovering the use of microcomputer for statistical analysis.The Instruction and Research Computer Center at The Ohio State University has over the last four to five years tried to take a leadership role in the selection of microcomputer software. Basically, the Center assessed the need for software and match that need with the best software for the University. Approximately one and a half years ago the Center began evaluating microcomputer statistical software. In the past, evaluation teams usually consisted ordinarily of the Director of the Center and our microcomputer experts. This approach worked extremely well for communications, basic wordprocessing, basic spreadsheets, and simple databases. The variety of available statistical software packages and the diverse needs of our faculty and researchers dictated a different approach. A statistical software review committee evolved. This committee consisted of faculty, researchers, the center's microcomputer experts, the associate director, and the director.This document reviews the steps taken at The Ohio State University to select the software. We are only partially through the analysis and selection process. Hopefully by the time of the conference, we will able to report about the completed project. |

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.
