Abstract | Technology is ubiquitous in the lives of our students, faculty, and staff, and often they are expected to "just know" how to use it for academic purposes. This doesn't always mean, however, that they really know how to transfer technology skills to their research. Since the 1990s, the University of Michigan Library has been supporting this knowledge transfer at the Knowledge Navigation Center (KNC) and Faculty Exploratory; in 2008 we began serving primarily undergraduates in a similar facility called the TechDeck. Open to the entire university community, over 70% of KNC clients are graduate students who are scanning articles for their teaching or research, creating posters or web pages, or formatting their dissertations. The Exploratory was specifically designed for faculty, to help them explore and apply new technology in their teaching, research and professional communication. In addition to consultations, faculty attend workshops on creating web pages or presentations, or manipulating images. Developed with the needs of undergraduates in mind, and located on the busy first floor of the Undergraduate Library, the TechDeck is open evenings and Sunday afternoons. The Tech Suites across the room from the TechDeck include the Brainstorming Room (with a CopyCam, whiteboards and projector), the Presentation Practice Room (with a video camera and screen capture software), and the Editing Room (with editing software and media conversion decks). The same professional and student staff operate all three facilities, creating more flexibility in scheduling, more seamless service, and a student staff with a broader range of experience and knowledge. This in turn enables the library to provide a higher quality service. This poster session will highlight the similarities and differences between these facilities and discuss staffing models to support them all. |

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.
