What are Digital Libraries?
" Digital libraries are
organizations that provide the resources, including the
specialized staff, to select, structure,
offer intellectual access to, interpret, distribute, preserve
the integrity of, and ensure the persistence over time
of collections of digital works so that they are readily and
economically available for use by a defined community or
set of communities."
