Abstract:
Electronic publishing and information accessing have become easy and convenient
mainly because of Internet and the World Wide Web technologies. Most digital libraries
were developed in the past by taking up projects based on specific disciplines and then
developed into full-fledged digital libraries. The inter-networking communication links,
low cost storage solutions, powerful desktops, workstations, servers and multimedia
hardware and software technologies are now available for initiating the Digital Library
projects in India. Digital Library is also known as Electronic Library or Virtual Library
with very little difference.
