| Abstract | An integrated, multimedia-geographic information system (GIS) approach to inventorying and characterizing thirty-nine wetland sites identified on the Winnebago Upper Pool Lakes in Wisconsin, USA was developed. Available black-and-white aerial photogrpahs recorded in 1937, 1957, and 1981 and color digital orthophotos of 2000 were employed as primary data sources to develop a spatio-temporal GIS database using a combination of digital image processing, GIS, Global Positioning System (GPS), and field survey techniques. Ten representative sites were selected to investigate the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of the wetland habitat in the study area further. Multimedia information as text, graphics, ground photogrpahs, and digital video was then developed to highlight the ecosystem function and structure of those representative wetlands. A computer-based interactive multimedia system, consisting of a graphical user interface and a GIS application module, was constructed to allow easy access to both the spatial data sets and the multimedia information. Given the increased concern over environmental preservation, expansion of urban development, and agricultural land use, it is anticipated that the database will prove valuable for a series of management tasks. The integrated approach provides an innovative way for integrating, analyzing, and presenting wetland information, thus enabling truly interactive collaborations among resource managers, policy makers, reserachers, and stakeholders. |

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.
