Abstract:
This article covers some basic principles underlying the design,
implementation and maintenance of any digital library. These principles apply not
only to conversion projects in which analog objects are converted to digital form,
but to digital libraries in which the objects have always been in digital form
("born digitally") and to "mixed" digital libraries in which the objects may be of
both types. The key challenges in front of designing any Digital Library are
building the Resources, Interoperability, Intellectual Property and Effective
Access. These principles acts as a base while building a Digital library.
