| Abstract | Geographic information system (GIS), Global Positioning System (GPS) and remote sensing (RS) are important tools in the emerging agricultural revolution called precision agricultural or site-specific management. GIS and GPS are inherently linked technologies. Together, they form a powerful tool to measure, map, monitor, and model resources and environmental data for both scientific and commercial applications. Many students and faculty of agricultural colleges from minority institutions have little experience with these new technologies. This paper summarizes how GIS, GPS, and Remote Sensing instruction was incorporated into the existing agriculture/natural science curriculums at the Land-Grant Institutions, Virginia State University (VSU), Delaware State University (DSU), Southern University (SU), and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) such as Elizabeth City State University (ECSU) and Bethune-Cookman University (BCU). The curricular materials were developed through a series of faculty development workshops at VSU, ECSU, and DSU. These workshops were coordinated by the Principal Investigator (Shobha Sriharan, senior author of this presentation) of the USDA Capacity Building Teaching Grant. The USDA collaborators, James Everitt and Reginald Fletcher provided training in the use of ArcGIS, GPS and remote sensing techniques. In addition, a summer faculty workshop was hosted at the Remote Sensing Laboratory of the Integrated Farming and Natural Resources Research, Weslaco, Texas, for exposing the faculty members to the applications of GIS and RS in agricultural fields. |

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.
