| Abstract | In recent years there has been tremendous growth in the computational capabilities of devices, content and the retrieval methods. There is great interest now in the mobile web. Mobile web refers to access to the web via a browser or application from a mobile computing system. The mobile computing system can be a mobile computer, smart phone or even a mobile phone. The access to the web from a mobile device especially the search for information is growing in popularity every day due to the availability, cheap cost and convenience of access. Studies have shown that the users are not satisfied with the state of the art in mobile browsing especially in the search and retrieval process. The potentially large volume of content that can be accessed, low power limitations of cellular band width, variable and small screen sizes pose considerable challenges to mobile users. This has necessitated great interest and research in the domain. This paper proposes a middleware based system that retrieves content dynamically from the web based on the user context, personal preferences and uses adapted snippet clustering algorithms for re ranking the query results. The architecture of the mobile information retrieval system is given along with the discussion on the prototypes used to validate the results. The initial results are promising and show considerable potential for research in the domain. |

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.
