| Abstract | As competition intensifies and environmental factors become more hostile, the concern for service quality grows. Student numbers have become a focal point in the offering of programmes. With regular quality audits, academia prioritises the fulfillment of the HEQC criteria, but lacks the provision of service quality to the student. If service quality is to become the cornerstone of marketing strategy, the marketer must have the means that differentiates the different academic institutions in SA. Service quality is considered a critical determinant of competitiveness. Attention to "service quality" can help an organisation to differentiate itself from other organisations and through it gain a lasting competitive advantage. High quality of service is considered an essential determinant of the long-term profitability not only of service organisations, but also of manufacturing organisations. In some manufacturing industries "service quality" is considered a more important order winner than "product quality". Superior "service quality" is a key to improved profitability, and not the cost of doing business. Exemplary service is the next sale in the making. The methodology of the research comprises a qualitative, exploratory and descriptive design. Relevant literature in conjunction with national and international trends was used to understand how best practices could be employed. |

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.
