| Abstract | A Russian, a Cuban, an American, and a layer are seated in the same compartment on a train. The Russian takes a bottle of vodka out of his luggage, pours some into a glass, drinks it, and firmly states: “In Russia, we have best wodka in the vorld, nowhere in the vorld you can find wodka as good as one we make in mother Russian. And, we have much of it, so much we can just throw it away like vater.” That said, the Russian opens the train's window and hurls the vodka out of the train. The others in the compartment are quite impressed. Then the Cuban removes a box of Havana cigars from his luggage, takes one, lights it, and begins to smoke. “In Kooba, we have de best cigars of de world, habanas, nowhere in de world are dere such many and good cigars, and we have much of dem also, such many dat we can just trow dem away.” Making that bold statement, the Cuban sends the box of Havanas the way of the vodka. Once again, the compartment's occupants are quite impressed. Then, not to be outdone, the American abruptly stands up, opens the window wide, and throws out the lawyer. |

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.
