| Abstract | Regional and global strategies to bring the benefits of e-government to Pacific Island Countries (PICs) have been less successful than anticipated despite large amounts of aid expenditure. National policies and projects likewise struggle to overcome the barriers of geography, isolation, climate, education, language and economic resources that face all Small Island Developing States (SIDs) when implementing ICT infrastructure and applications. In addition, cultural factors specific to each PIC must be taken into account when developing e-government applications, including cultural attitudes to knowledge and the dissemination of information. The paper proposes a new framework, based on the concept of an `information ecology' that will acknowledge the way in which information ecologies influence behaviors at several levels, including regional, national, sub-national and local. We believe that this framework will better support the development of locally grounded, culturally relevant, sustainable and effective e-government policies in the region. The paper outlines some of the background to this project and progress to date. |

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.
