| Abstract | Established in 2005, the U.S. Navy Fleet Survey Team (FST) is an organization that enables Theater combatant commanders worldwide with access in the littoral regions through operational hydrography. When forces are armed with detailed descriptions of the environmental conditions they could face, operations have a greater chance of being safely and efficiently executed. FST gathers the needed information via timely, self-contained hydrographie surveys in response to combatant commanders' requests. These requests frequently are for harbor, beach, or river areas where Navy operations will take place or where charting accuracy is uncertain. FST members (both civilian and military) quickly deploy to areas around the world outfitted with equipment to perform surveys from various boats of opportunity or from their own Rigid Hull Inflatable Boats (RHIBs) and personal water craft. Because of these unique capabilities, civilian and military members of FST have deployed to areas in the Middle East, Africa, and South America to perform near-shore surveys to collect data that aid in the safe navigation of U.S. forces and supplies traversing the area. FST members have also played significant roles in charting areas affected by natural disasters such as the 2004 south Asia tsunami and hurricanes Katrina, Rita, Gustav, and Ike in the Gulf of Mexico. Comprised of approximately 65 military and civilian members, FST is collocated with the Naval Océanographie Office and Commander, Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Command, at Stennis Space Center, Mississippi. Command personnel possess a unique blend of military and civilian knowledge and experience. Enlisted sailors routinely qualify as level-two military hydrographers, certifying their skills in addition to their Navy Meteorology and Oceanography (METOC) training. In addition to their strong backgrounds in math, science, and engineering, officers and civilians frequently obtain master's degrees in hydrographie science through an ongoing program with The University of Southern Mississippi, which offers an accredited course by the International Hydrographie Organization (IHO) for Category A hydrographers. |

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.
