Online Library Resources

A collection of documents in an organized electronic form that are available on the internet or CD disk, is known as a digital library. It depends on the library as to what they have access to, but can range from magazine articles, books, papers, images, sound files, and video’s.

Digital libraries generally are provided to students with convenience of learning at their own comfort. They’re also good for young children to learn new skills with computer generated learning games, and adults who want to read books without the hassle of going to the library.
