What are Digital Libraries?
Digital libraries are Internet sites dedicated to the creation and conserving of electronic book collections and ownership of other kinds of materials, without the necessity for end-users to buy the materials they want to consult and read.
Digital libraries are mainly stored with sources of information that are accessible on the Internet in open access format, and they are considered for the ease of access to collections, the networking opportunities they offer, and the universal availability of their varieties of reading materials.
Role Of Digital Library
Digital Library serves a reasonable role in rationing expensive resources. Physical resources such as books and journals, films and videos, software and electronic databases, and technical tools such as projectors, graphics equipment and cameras are shared by a community of users.
Libraries serve a cultural role in protecting, preserving and organizing ideas. Great endeavours of literature, art, and science must be preserved and made accessible to future learners. Libraries serve civil and intellectual roles in concentrating people and ideas.
