| Abstract | Systemic semiotics, a combination of systemic functional linguistics and its elaboration into the general field of social semiotics, forms the basis for a new approach to the study of workpractices and information systems as patterns of human communication. Workpractices consist of one or more text-types referred to as genres, and zero or more actions-types. Action-types are purposeful, staged and goal-oriented sequences of social activity involving the movement of participants, goods, and/or texts, within/or between the organisation and its environment. Analysis of action-types generally involves direct observation, but may also be inferred from work documentation, reconstructed from software, or recovered from interviews. Genres integrate in predictable ways, purposeful, staged and goal-oriented social processes, with participant role structures and a symbolic organisation of written or spoken language. Through access to, and involvement with various institutions in society, members of communities become familiar with and utilise, commonly available genres called canonical genres. Genres in workplaces, while often based on canonical genres, have evolved to meet specific needs in organisational contexts. The paper provides an overview of the systemic functional systems (SFX) methodology. The case study used throughout this paper is of a small operational system (ALABS) used in the loan and return of items (software, hardware, and manuals) to students and staff at a tertiary educational computer centre. |

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.
