In economics, for instance, neo-institutional theory emphasizes the critical role of the formal rules of the game and the informal codes of conduct. Take the wellknown work of Robinson (e.g., 2005 and, with Johnson, 2012), arguing that exploitative institutions are the main reason for societal failure, with the elite exploiting the rest of the population for their own benefit. Another well-established and related argument relates to the critical role of trust. Here, economists and sociologists agree that high-trust societies tend to outperform their low-trust counterparts (see, e.g., Zak & Knack, 2001).What these and many other arguments share is their emphasis on the importance of the production, maintenance, and advancement of high-quality public goods. For societies to prosper, the inhabitants as a collective have to be able to efficiently and effectively coordinate and organize the production of a large collection of public goods, from transportation infrastructures and energy provision to ownership protection and social safety. For that, a large army of people, including many civil servants, are needed to provide the brains and hands required to do so.

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.
