| Abstract | In Fall, 2007, Winthrop University began accepting students to a new degree program entitled information design. This is an intensely interdisciplinary program spanning four departments and three colleges. The four departments are computer science and marketing from the college of business, design from the college of visual and performing arts and mass communication from the college of arts and sciences. The program consists of four specialties and a set of core courses and seminars. The specialties are: Web application design, offered by computer science; interactive media, offered by design; digital commerce, offered by marketing; and digital mass media, offered by mass communications. Each student takes all the core courses and seminars, and selects a specialty. The core courses consist of one or two introductory courses from each specialty. In addition, a freshman seminar helps students understand the different specialties, a later seminar introduces cutting edge topics in the field, and a senior seminar requires synthesis across the disciplines. In the latter students will work in teams to solve a problem for a local company or nonprofit. The ideal team will be four students, one from each specialty. The core courses are highly integrated, with each (except the first, of course) requiring one or more of the others as prerequisites or corequisites. There is also substantial overlap among the specialties. We expect assessment criteria will ensure that this degree of integration is maintained over time. This paper includes a detailed description of the program, a summary of its origins (largely industry driven) and a description of the assessment criteria. |

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.
