| Abstract | Participatory Design is a diverse collection of principles and practices aimed at making technologies, tools, environments, businesses, and social institutions more responsive to human needs. A central tenet of Participatory Design (PD) is the direct involvement of people in the co-design of things and technologies they use and live with. The Participatory Design Conference continues to be the main gathering point of the PD community and an important venue for international discussion of the collaborative, social, and political dimensions of technology innovation and use. Held every two years since 1990, the conference has helped to broaden participatory approaches in design around a variety of arenas, including information and communication technologies, computer supported cooperative work, healthcare, learning, new media and digital culture, community settings, architecture and the urban environment, the arts, visual communication, interaction design and service design to mention some of the fields involved. In the same spirit of past editions, PDC 2014 brings together a multidisciplinary and international group of researchers, practitioners, activists and citizens who both advocate and adopt distinctively participatory approaches. For 2014 the theme selected for the call for papers was "Reflecting Connectedness". The call invited contributors to recognise principles of relationships between people, things and their environment, beyond participation -- a theme that suits very well to be dealt with in Windhoek, Namibia, our host city this year. By 'reflecting connectedness' in participatory design, the organizing committee wants to acknowledge the influential relations across continents, societies, people, disciplines and time, beyond the direct involvement of stakeholders. The contributions of these proceedings thus aim at highlighting ways in which the value of accumulated experiences in PD and elsewhere over time enrich the field of Participatory Design. The papers presented here also engage in critical debates on what it means to design within and for multilayered networks. |

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.
