About the workshop:

Ministry of Human Resource and Development, Govt. of India under its NMEICT mission, has entrusted IIT Kharagpur to host, coordinate and set-up National Digital Library (NDL) towards building a national asset. The objective of the project is to integrate all the existing digitized and digital contents across educational institutions of the nation to provide a single-window access with e-learning facility to different groups of users ranging from primary level to higher education level of our county. NDL will harvest and index contents from all the Institutional Digital Repositories (IDR) of institutions, universities and all other digital library initiatives so that all the e-contents can be searched and accessed by the users through a single window. Initial version of NDL can be viewed at https://ndl.iitkgp.ac.in

In view of the above, Library, Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Pune in collaboration with NDL, IIT Kharagpur, is organizing two day ‘Workshop-cum-training programme on Institutional Digital Repository for National Digital Library’ during October 5-6, 2016. The workshop will include an advanced-level hands-on training for the development of IDRs in each institution so that e-contents of individual institution can be harvested and indexed by the NDL server.
