Abstract | Although it is evident that either the technological aspects of collaborative working and human competences and performances in using new technologies derive and are influenced by several cognitive processes no agreement exists as regards not only the number but also (and more importantly) the nature of these cognitive processes. A major point of debate resides in the newly introduced concept of "distributed cognition" due to the multiplicative effect of knowledge diffusion besides individual minds and social relationships, also among technological artefacts and different artificial systems. Distributed cognition is highly supported by external devices and therefore emphasizes the role of facilities external to the mind in developing knowledge not only as regards existing technology but, in particular as regards the "user-generated-content" devices and the practise of file-sharing. Distributed cognition, being no longer a subject's property, requires a new circular and dynamic model of the organism/environment relationships entailing a redefinition of the psychological system so as to include both the organism - playing the leading role - and the environment, as inseparable interacting components (Olivetti Belardinelli). In the unified viewpoint of the organism-environment system a simple operative value is assigned to the distinction between subject and object, understood as subsystems interacting by virtue of their essential structure. In the case of the new communication and working technologies this dynamic model allows to describe the progressive coincidence of agency and agent in an emergent interconnected subject behaving in a generative and proactive way more than in a reactive one. This collective agency is based on the shared reliance on collective efficacy as attribute emerging at a group level, following cooperation and interaction dynamics. Once more the relationships between technology and cognitive achievement is double- bounded since technology allows the emergence of what De Kerckhove calls "collaborative or connective intelligence" which in its turn has a multiplicative effect on technology development. The existing literature about the cognitive processing by the collaborative intelligence will be discussed in the light of the above mentioned dynamic model requiring a combined objective- and subjective-oriented method for assessing accessibility and usability of the "cognitive Web". |

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.
