| Abstract | This year marks the tenth anniversary of the Interaction Design and Children conference, and we are excited to reflect on the past while looking forward to think about new directions in the areas of interaction design and children's technologies. The primary objectives of the IDC conference are to understand children's needs and how to design for them, by presenting and discussing the most innovative research in the field of interaction design for children, by exhibiting the most recent developments in design and design methodologies, and by gathering the leading researchers in the field of interaction design for children. This year we look back at our first ten years, while at the same time, we continue to think about the ways that IDC can explore new technologies to support and empower children in a climate of increasing societal challenges. One of the papers in this volume, "Examining Values: An Analysis of Nine Years of IDC Research," by Svetlana Yarosh, Iulian Radu, Seth Hunter, and Eric Rosenbaum, helps us reflect on our past by providing an excellent summary of the trajectory of the conference, and the IDC community, over the past decade. Dr. Jim Grey's opening keynote, "From Academic Project to Viable Business: Growing Value for Children, Parents, and Teachers," and Dr. Mike Eisenberg's closing plenary, "Interaction Design for Children in Fluid Technological, Economic, and Political Times," turn our attention to the ways that we can strengthen the impact of our work in this area today and into the future. IDC 2011 seeks to build on the work of previous conferences while expanding the community of researchers in the field within a more focused arena than those found in more general HCI conferences and publication venues. In particular, we adopt the theme, "Designing When Boundaries Blur: Reshaping Interaction Design in the Pervasive Technology Landscape," to reflect both the inherently interdisciplinary nature of the field and its role within highly dynamic social and technological contexts. We adopt this theme to emphasize the fact that as technologies for children continue to evolve and become increasingly pervasive, many of the contexts that we work in are changing and melding in new ways, forcing us to rethink how we design for integrated, technology-enhanced contexts and how we position our work more broadly. Current technology developments are changing the notion of interaction and technology. Some technologies are shrinking in size, as seen in the rise of networked, mobile technologies, such as smartphones and tablet devices, allowing children to easily take and use technologies in contexts distinctly different from those of the adult world. At the same time, as technologies such as large displays, embedded technologies, tabletop surfaces, and haptic interfaces become increasingly ubiquitous they create opportunities for entirely new forms of interaction uniquely attuned to the needs and interests of children. |

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.
