| Abstract | Terminal equipment like personal computers (PCs) and mobile phones are mainstream devices in the Information Society. Most means for stimulating active communications depend on visual information. To classify human sensations, the phrase of "five senses" consisting of vision, hearing, touch, taste, and smell, has been used from olden days. This classification is triggered by the ancient Greeks. However, there are at least nine types or over twenty types of human sensory channels if the classification is considered from a practical standpoint. In the case of touch sensation, it tells the brain not only simple skin sensations, pain, and temperature, but also a variety of sensations such as pressure and vibration. As you can easily experience when you browse web pages on the Internet, the current web technology enables the visualization of their contents, it does not provide any means to convey other sensory information. Consequently, we focus on the tactile information as a way for enabling multisensory communication and we are conducting a research project for designing and developing a “haptization” based communication framework and its application systems. It is not just a vision targeted at people with disabilities, and we would like to eye pregnant, elderly, and the weak in information technology who called “digital divide”. Such people ordinarily have difficulties for obtaining information as various reasons. We report our past activities and a questionnaire survey for exploring problems such as what is the impact of haptization to use as a communication mean, and what are technical issues for implementing a good solution. |

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.
