Abstract

Preservation of digital information is widely considered to require more constant and ongoing attention than preservation of other media. A library is an organization. The organization of libraries is already changing as electronic information increasingly becomes part of their charge. Digital imaging technology offers distinctive advantages to institutions with impressive collections of scholarly resources. Information content can be delivered directly to the reader without human intervention by readers remotely, although such delivery may tax the capabilities of even the most sophisticated projection equipment and networks. This article explains the different types of digital resources in general and digital preservation in particular based on the user’s benefits.
Keywords: Information Dissemination, Digital Resources, Digital Preservation
