| Abstract | The Twin Research Registry (TRR) at SRI International is acommunity-based registry of twins established in 1995 by advertising in localmedia, mainly on radio stations and in newspapers. As of August 2012, there are3120 twins enrolled; 86% are 18 or older (mean age 44.9 years, SD 16.9)and 14% less than 18 years of age (mean age 8.9 years, SD 4.5);67% are female, and 62% are self-reported monozygotic. More than1375 twins have participated in studies over the last 15 years in collaborationwith the University of California Medical Center in San Francisco, theUniversity of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, and the Stanford UniversitySchool of Medicine. Each twin completes a registration form with basicdemographic information either online at the TRR website or during a telephoneinterview. Contact is maintained with members by means of annual newsletters andbirthday cards. The managers of the TRR protect the confidentiality of twin datawith established policies; no information is given to other researchers withoutprior permission from the twins and all methods and procedures are reviewed byan Institutional Review Board. Phenotypes studied thus far include those relatedto nicotine metabolism, mutagen sensitivity, pain response before and afteradministration of an opioid, and a variety of immunological responses toenvironmental exposures including second-hand smoke and vaccination for seasonalinfluenza virus and varicella zoster virus. Twins in the TRR have participatedin studies of complex, clinically-relevant phenotypes that would not be feasibleto measure in larger samples. |

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.
