==Digital Library of India, now closed==
The Digital Library of India appears to have has been closed downas a separate entity, although texts labelled "Digital Library of India" are available through the National Digital Library of India, see next section.
In January 2017 many (but not all) of the book files, from the then Digital Library of India were uploaded to the Internet Archive (Archive.org). An example of the URL for an Internet Archive book file is https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.97227
Noted in October 2020, files are currently being were uploaded to the Archive.org which are were files from the previous Digital Library of India. An example of the URL for an Archive.org book file uploaded at that time is https://archive.org/details/dli.ernet.238435
===DLI history===
*[https://ndl.iitkgp.ac.in Website]
A portal sponsored by the Ministry of Human Resource Development, with the aim of providing a single window search facility. It is not immediately clear which other digital libraries have contributed content, but include includes content from the previous Digital Library of India, and also West Bengal Public Library Network, Gokhale Institute of Politics and Economics (GIPE) and South Asia Archive. The latter is a subscription website and access to it through DNLA is limited to "all the UGC colleges in India". For non Indian residents the viewing of content will generally need to be via the website of the contributing institutions, as it appears to register with NDLI, you need to be an Indian resident at an educational institution. However you can access content from the previous Digital Library of India, although it may be slow and the Internet Archive (Archive.org) may be preferable for those DLI files also uploaded to Archive.org.
