| Abstract | NordiCHI is the main forum for human-computer interaction research in the Nordic countries. It is a biannual event. The first four were held in Stockholm (2000), Aarhus (2002), Tampere (2004) and Oslo (2006). This year's conference in Lund is hosted by Lund University in affiliation with Malmö University and IT University of Copenhagen. The theme is Using Bridges: A key challenge that our everyday culture raises is to find better ways to combine theory and practice. Bridging needs to take place on many levels: individual-to- individual, many-to-many, culture-to-culture, region-to-region, human-to-artefact, mankind-to- technology, and artefact-to-artefact. The vision is that the conference will enable the meeting of cultures within HCI --- geographically distinct ones as well as those of academia, industry and public life. The broad call for participation elicited an excellent response, and we are happy to offer a high-quality technical programme that combines the best of the NordiCHI tradition with emerging trends in interaction design. The technical programme combines five different categories of submissions: full papers, short papers, design cases, industrial experience reports and interactive events (demonstrations). The industrial experience report category follows the initiative from NordiCHI 2006, whereas the design case category is new this year. The intention of design cases is twofold: to open a venue for the growing community of design researchers in HCI, interaction design and related fields, and to experiment with a format for knowledge production in which the significance of critics and criticism is acknowledged. We received 139 full papers, 112 short papers, 3 design cases and 9 industrial experience reports. An international committee comprising 161 reviewers helped in the selection process. In the end we accepted 42 full papers, 39 short papers (12 for plenum presentation and 27 as poster presentations), 2 design cases each with two critiques, and 8 industrial experience reports. The acceptance rate for full papers was 30.2% and 34.8% for short papers. The submitted full papers represent 20 countries, with the accepted ones representing 9, whereof 5 are outside the Nordic region. |

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.
