| Abstract | Current Macintosh laptop computers are equipped with a 3-axis accelerometer that detects sudden shock and impact and enables the hard drive to ldquofreezerdquo and save its contents. In addition, the newer Intel-based MacBook and MacBookPro laptops have built-in iSight video cameras for use in video conferencing communications. The Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES) Cyberinfrastructure Center (NEESit) has exploited these capabilities and has developed an educational and research platform for measurement and recording of vibrations and dynamic response. The system employs the NEESit real-time data Viewer (RDV) that enables the real-time streaming of acceleration data synchronized with video, and automatically saves data into a database repository (NEEScentral). Through NEEScentral, earthquake engineering students and research collaborators worldwide can access the recorded data online and engage in joint projects, potentially at a worldwide scale. The following paper provides an overview of the information technology framework for the NEESit MacBook accelerometer and video sensor platform (iSeismograph) and its capabilities, and provides an example of its potential for collaboration through a classroom application for undergraduate education in earthquake engineering. |

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.
