What is NDLI?

The National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is an all-digital library that stores information (metadata) about different types of digital contents including books, articles, videos, audios, thesis and other educational materials relevant for users from varying educational levels and capabilities. It provides a single-window search facility so that learners can retrieve the right resources with the least effort in minimum time. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provide interface support for the leading vernacular languages. It is available on all popular forms of access devices including mobile apps on Android and iOS platforms.

Who all can be benefited by NDLI?

NDLI has been designed to benefit all kinds of users like students (of all levels), teachers, researchers, librarians, library users, professionals, differently abled users and all other lifelong learners.

There are so many Digital Libraries. How is NDLI different from them?

NDLI will provide a single window search facility to act as a one-stop shop for all digital educational resources. Information can be personalized based on the education level, choice of language, difficulty level, media of content and such other factors while other Digital libraries may not include all these choices. NDLI provides interface support for the leading vernacular languages and thus one can select the language of his/her choice to search or browse through NDLI. In other words, it is like a 'customised service' provided in a 24x7 integrated environment to suit a user's requirement and will be like a single 'go-to' shop for any requirement.
