Description :
Digital Libraries Are Organized Collections Of Information Resources And Associated Tools For Creating Archiving , Sharing , Searching, And Using Information That Can Be Accessed Electronically. Digital Libraries Differ From Traditional Libraries In That They Exist In The "Cyber World" Of Computers And The Internet Rather Than In The "Brick And Mortar World" Of Physical Buildings. Digital Libraries Can Store Any Type Of Information Resource (Often Referred To As Documents Or Objects) As Long As The Resource Can Be Represented Electronically. Examples Include Hypertexts, Archival Images, Computer Simulations, Digital Video, And Most Uniquely, Real- Time Scientific Data Such As Temperature Readings Form Remote Meteorological Instruments Connected To The Internet.
