THE JOURNEY

VIRTUAL LIBRARIES ARE MORE THAN A PASSIVE COLLECTION OF BOOKS...

● Like with all other things digital, users expect a lot more customization and interaction from digital libraries - the digital library hence needs to evolve into a bouquet of services instead of just a storage platform

● Apart from collating data and connecting them meaningfully, the end-success of the library will always lie with its users. NDLI clubs encourages the active involvement of users with the content as well as each other to Learn, Share, Grow.

COMMUNITY INNOVATION: NDLI CLUBS

● E-learning environment for schools● Involving all K-12 Stakeholders● Single point of access for unified academic

resources● Aimed at building active learners among

users - NDLI club newsletters, quiz, workshops on themes like STEM, e-commerce, IoT etc.

NDLI CLUBS: EDUCATION HUBS FOR ALL

LEARNERS, ANYTIME, ANYWHERE

NDLI CLUBS

● Clubs can provide insights on learning outcomes and cognitive abilities to better curriculum● Will allow development of concept-based questions modelled on learning behaviour● Student profiles and performance will allow school management to make better decisions

NATIONAL LICENSING

An initiative by eSS:

● e-ShodhSindhu: Consortium for Higher Education Electronic Resources

Licensing being negotiated with Publishers

● Institutional License:

Accessible from within designated institutional network: IP filtered

● NDLI Supported License:

Accessible if requested from NDLI: Concurrent use-basis

ACCESS AND DISCOVERY INNOVATION: SURROGATOR

SURROGATOR

● Makes available pre-print copies of academic resources that are otherwise unavailable to learners

● A customizable application that can identify surrogates for access-restricted publications in digital libraries

● Surrogator can make a case for the evolution of specific subject matters through pre-print indexing and open up a whole new realm of research

● Application is being tested through NDLI, can easily be extended to other digital libraries

CATEGORY INNOVATION: CHAVI

DATA-DRIVEN CANCER RESEARCH

● India currently does not have the infrastructure for dedicated bio banks to aid medical research

● This prevents the Indian medical system to learn of and from trends to prepare for subsequent treatment

● NDLI has tied up with TATA MEDICAL CENTRE in Kolkata to develop a prototype for bio-banks that will aid cancer-research

CHAVICOMPREHENSIVE DIGITAL ARCHIVE OF CANCER IMAGING● Dedicated image banking

service

● Will provide annotated images with associated information of cancer patients

● Furthering India’s data banking initiatives

● Library migrating to create a database for bio-banks

AI INNOVATION: CREATING KNOWLEDGE

UNDERSTANDING THE MODERN KNOWLEDGE SEEKER:

● Technology and hence technology-enabled access have led to users becoming virtualized

● As a data aggregator, digital libraries can not only facilitate search and browse, but also bring together content libraries and algorithm libraries to compute big-data solutions remotely and real-time!

● So not only can the library store knowledge for its users, it can also evolve to create/compute knowledge by cross-linking programs with data-sets
