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.
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.
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.
Access to the NDLI system is free of charge. However, this will lead the user to the materials which may reside on other institutions' servers. Accessing these will be determined by the policy of those institutions and their access rules.
NDLI contents are available in various forms like text, audio, video etc. The nature of media can be chosen by the user to retrieve the materials in the desired format.
The ultimate aim is to provide the materials in all vernacular languages. However, this will very much depend on the actual availability of materials in the vernacular. NDLI can accommodate materials in any language while the User Interface for Browsing and Searching is currently available in English plus 12 Indian languages and is slowly being expanded to include other languages.
NDLI aims to make its educational materials available to all through metadata. Metadata provides textual information of a content which may be actually hosted on the data provider's server. The actual contents are subject to copyright laws of the respective data providers as the authors or publishers may retain copyright to these works that are used by NDLI with permission. Anybody reproducing, redistributing, or making commercial use of these materials is responsible for compliance with the terms and conditions asserted by the copyright holder. Transmission or reproduction of protected items beyond that allowed by fair use as defined in the copyright laws requires the written permission of the copyright owners.
