Abstract

This chapter x-rayed digital libraries as a tool beyond a library's beginning for information service delivery and function. It discussed the conceptual nature of digital libraries, benefits of digital libraries, digital library resources, components of digital libraries, digital literacy skill, digital library: the university focus, hardware and software for building a digital library, and challenges facing digital libraries. It recommended among others that for the effective implementation of digital library programmes to satisfy users' needs, government and library's parent bodies must endeavour to allocate a huge amount of finance for digital library infrastructural development in libraries of all types, which should be judiciously used by library management for the intended purposes.
