| Abstract | Government agencies provide a wide variety of services to their constituents. Many services have a public facing component, where the agency or its authorized proxy interface directly with clients. Unlike the private sector, the design of public facing federal services is not subject to market competitive forces, which contributes to reuse of existing designs and a risk-avoidance posture towards change. In addition, there is often little formal systems engineering or process engineering conducted to evaluate current services or potential new services. Transparent and repeatable processes for developing service design options, comparing and evaluating among a suite of service options, testing and forecasting service outcomes, and measuring services for continuous improvement are often lacking in public agencies. The large scale and wide scope of government services, affecting all citizens at various life stages and social conditions while subject to persistent policy and technology change, pose significant complex system challenges to assure cost-effective performance. The contribution of this work is to present a framework and Service Systems Engineering (SSE) approach for understanding and enhancing the process of developing and deploying public facing government services, drawing from Service Science and Service Systems Engineering (SSE) methods. The results show there are few distinct public facing government services, and few classes of data exchanged in these services. These results suggest opportunities for harmonization and standardization of business processes across agencies. Service offerings can be modeled using analytical methods and computer simulation techniques such as system dynamics and agent-based modeling, allowing for a variety of “what-if” scenarios to be considered. The use of these techniques allow agency service designers to apply systems thinking to better understand options for improvements to future public facing government services in a Government Services Ecosystem that includes systems-of-systems and complex systems integration challenges. |

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.
