| Abstract | The software supplier of a large hospital has been taken over. The hospital gets notice that the central hospital information system (HIS) will no longer be maintained, starting next year. This problem, not uncommon in business today, is used as a real life case in a project based course for first year students Business Information Technology (BIT). The students get all basic material that the hospital had at the start of the project but not more than that. They have to construct the case themselves and make a strategic decision: "Do we buy a new system from the same supplier or do we choose something completely new?" Subsequently they have to dig into the hospital information system. When a new central HIS is to be installed, it is not necessary to replace all of the peripheral system in the hospital. How should the overall system be decomposed into subsystems, and how should the communication between new and remaining subsystems be organized? After several weeks of intensive labor, at least the students have learned one thing: "the hospital information system does not have to bother with the millennium problem". But have they learned more? While highlighting how this hospital is getting ready for the next century, we describe the added value of project based education, in particular for the integration project of Business Information Technology. |

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.
