| Abstract | Through news items and reports, the general public have been made aware of the problems surrounding the Year 2000 (Y2K) and Euro Conversion. Such reports are also making it clear just how much computer based systems now impinge on peoples lives throughout the world. The issues involved in both Y2K and Euro Conversion are not conceptually difficult, yet the resources they will consume are enormous. That this level of expenditure should have to occur is itself a terrible indictment of the state of the industry. It is currently far from clear whether the industry will muddle through again, just in time, or whether the predictions of the "doom mongers" will come true and we will see a series of major disasters at the start of the new millennium. To put things in perspective we need to stand back and appraise the overall situation with regard to development of software systems. The author bases his remarks on information relating to the UK, but he is convinced that the situation is little better elsewhere. With regard to systems, the problems that we have to address are: the criticality of systems; the complexity of scale; increasing change; and issues associated with legacy and evolution compared with green field site situations. |

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.
