Digital library also referred as Online Library is the one that provides access to a collection of information resources in digital form. An informal definition of a digital library is a managed collection of information, with associated services, where the information is stored in digital formats and accessible over a network. A key part of this definition is that the information is managed. A stream of data sent to earth from a satellite is not a library. The same data, when organized systematically, becomes a digital library collection. Most people would not consider a database containing financial records of one company to be a digital library, but would accept a collection of such information from man companies a part of a library. This book has been prepared keeping in mind the requirements of students, researches, teachers, academicians and librarians. Digital libraries make it possible for patrons around the world to read or research a collection via the web. Some libraries offer PDF versions of out-of-copyright novels, while others collect scholarly journals. By building one, you can provide information to thousands of people you may never meet.
