| Abstract | We propose and develop InVEStA - interactive virtual expert system for advising - to assist undergraduate students and their advisors in providing timely, accurate and conflict-free schedules. The proposed system is based on Java and object-relational database technologies and consists of the database layer, transaction layer, scheduler and the Web-based front-end. The transaction layer transmits requests and data back and forth to the other system components and provides multi-user capabilities. The scheduler provides non-conflicting class schedules based on pre-specified requirements. The front-end provides the client's interface. In this paper we discuss the structure and functionality of the system with particular emphasis on database design and specifics of the scheduling algorithm. Also, we discuss issues related to advising double and multiple majors and to auditing students that change or add majors during the course of their studies. Finally, we discuss some practical issues related to the implementation of the system and its launching in a middle-sized university |

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.
