| Abstract | Road traffic injuries are a major, but neglected public health problem in Sri Lanka. As their economic costs are high and emergency trauma care is lacking in the country, the prevention of the road traffic injuries is extremely important. To prevent road traffic injuries, accurate information are mandatory on modes, patterns and trends of crashes and injuries. However, existing surveillance systems in Sri Lanka carry enormous deficiencies in receiving, recording and disseminating information of road traffic crashes and injuries. Hence, we designed a Web based injury surveillance system (WBISS) to overcome these deficiencies and to improve the inter-sector coordination for road traffic injury prevention in Sri Lanka. We adopted to WHO injury surveillance guidelines and used standard injury scales in designing this system. The system utilizes available resources without causing extra burden to government of Sri Lanka. This WBISS collects data on road traffic injuries from hospitals and relevant police stations. Data will be entered online to a Web based data base. WBISS will provide accurate, complete, timely data on patterns and determinants of road traffic injuries and will help to implement timely interventions. This system will also aid the frequent updating of the knowledge on road traffic injuries in the country. WBISS can be used worldwide. Other developing countries can also share the same system. |

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.
