Definition and Concept of Digital Library

• An electronic library (referred to as a digital library) is a library in which collections are stored in electronic media formats (as opposed to print, microform, or other media) and accessible via computers.

• The electronic content may be stored locally, or accessed remotely via computer networks. An electronic library is a type of information retrieval system.

Digital Library

• The first use of the term digital library in print may have been in a 1988 report to the Corporation for National Research Initiatives.

• The term digital libraries was first popularized by the NSF/DARPA/NASA Digital Libraries Initiative in 1994.

• The term virtual library was initially used

interchangeably with digital library, but is now primarily used for libraries that are virtual in other senses (such as libraries which aggregate distributed content).

• A distinction is often made between content that was created in a digital format, known as born-digital, and information that has been converted from a physical medium, e.g. paper, by digitizing.

• It should also be noted that not all electronic content is in digital data format.

• The term hybrid library is sometimes used for libraries that have both physical collections and electronic collections. For example, American Memory is a digital library within the Library of Congress.

• Indian University Libraries are also in the transition phase and representing Hybrid Library

• In the context of the DELOS, a Network of Excellence on Digital Libraries, and DL.org, a Coordination Action on Digital Library Interoperability, Best Practices and Modelling Foundations, Digital Library researchers and practitioners and software developer produced a Digital Library Reference Model which defines a digital library as:

• "A potentially virtual organisation, that comprehensively collects, manages and preserves for the long depth of time rich digital content, and offers to its targeted user communities specialised functionality on that content, of defined quality and according to comprehensive codified policies."

• The Digital Libraries are electronic libraries where the information is acquired, stored and retrieved in digital form.

• Digital Libraries are the group-interlinked workstations connected to the high-speed networks.

• In the context of digital imaging, librarians face greater challenges in capturing, storing, formatting, retrieval and reproduction of non-textual materials.

Definition and Concept of Digital Library (Contd--)

• In digital libraries the e-resources are mounted on the servers located at remote places and the member libraries using user login and password on yearly subscription basis may access the information.

• The digital collection resources may be e-journals, bibliographic and full text databases, e-books, e-prints etc called e-resources that may be shown in the digital collection and catalogue of the member libraries for a particular period of time.

• The member libraries can access the resources simultaneously at a time or at different time. Therefore many libraries may use the digital collection available at one site at the same time without any problems over the Internet through Dial Up, DSL, Lease Line or VSAT Connectivity.

• So the digital libraries are libraries without wall and it is also known as virtual library in broader sense.



9

Definition of Digital Library

• Digital Library has been defined by a UCLA-NSF Social Aspects of Digital Libraries Workshop as ‘Digital Libraries are a set of electronic resources and associated technical capabilities for creating, searching and using information

• In this sense they are an extension and enhancement of information storage and retrieval systems that manipulate digital data in any medium (text, images, sounds, static or dynamic images) and exist in distributed network.

• The content of digital libraries includes data, metadata that describes various aspects of the data (e.g. Representation, creator, owner, reproduction rights), and metadata that consist of links or relationship to other data or metadata, whether internal or external to the digital library”.



10

Advantages of Digital Library

• No physical boundary.

• Round the clock availability ;

• Multiple access;

• Information retrieval;

• Preservation and conservation;

• Space.;

• Added value.; and

• Easily accessible



Elements of Digital Libraries • The U.S. Association of Research Libraries identified

five elements common to all definitions of digital libraries:

– The Digital Library is not a single entity;

– The Digital Library requires technology to link the resources;

– Linkage between Digital Libraries and Information Services are transparent;

– Universal Access to Digital Library must be a goal;

– Digital Library Collections are not restricted to document surrogates but include digital artifacts that have no printed equivalent.

22

Digital Library Initiatives in India • In Indian scenario the concept of establishing digital

libraries is coming –up. • The modern computerised libraries where all library

operation is being carried out by the specialised library application software and suitable hardware and software for creating and using library databases.

• These libraries are also having traditional collections but they are procuring digital resources in the form of e-journal subscriptions, bibliographical and Full Text Databases in CD-ROM/ DVD –ROM format, Online Databases of specialised subjects.

• These e-resources can be accessed over the Internet on IP based identification of users.



23

Digital Library Initiatives in India • The concept of Digital Libraries and digitisation has started in the

western countries in the last couple of decades back. In developing countries including India, initiatives are being taken.

• The Government of India has already taken initiatives with the help from the United States of America.

• The National Science Foundation of the USA has initiated the “Million Book Project” at the Carnegie Mellon University in USA with India as a partner in this endeavor.

• The Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, is the focal point of this activity in India. The project is an International cooperative attempt to digitize a million seminal books in fields that happen to be in the public domain or are copyrighted but out of print, making them freely available on the web to anyone at any time anywhere in the world. This helps bridging the barriers in terms of time, geographical location and economic strata of the users.



24

Digital Library Initiatives in India • The project aims at digitizing a million books by

2005 in India alone. When completed, it will be an important contribution in the field of digitisation in India.

• As part of this project, India launched the ‘ Digital Library of India Portal’ in September 2002.

• While inaugurating the Portal, Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, the Hon’ble President of India in his inaugural address said “India has taken the initiative at the right time”.

•
