| Abstract | The knowledge economy that is so much etched into contemporary collective consciousness is reviewed against the small city of Hong Kong, a large financial hub. In its ingrained and single-minded economic pursuit, the territory’s history and education has moulded it into the international status it is today. Where do the arts stand in the knowledge economy and how are the arts able to contribute to it? By exploring Santos’ (Glob, Soc Educ 4(2):303–318, 2006) sociology of absences and his call for a sociology of emergences, this paper explores the linear, literal and quantitative as characterised by economic development against the arts’ non-literal, abstract and qualitative features. If unchanged, I view the knowledge economy’s goal as a reductionist closed point, whereas the arts offer possibilities into the unknown where creativity is located. Taking Appadurai’s (1996) five “scapes” in the global cultural flow, I propose the sixth “creative learning-scape” led by the arts. In the concluding section, unlike the schooling system, I argue that arts organisations through an arts learning model could be better equipped to lead in knowledge creation for the twenty-first century. |

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.
