E-Libraries in Twenty First Century

This book has been devoted to the discussion and study of e-libraries; what they entail and what they mean for the new millennium. The book embarks on a full-scale discussion of what digital libraries project for the future, how they are currently in place and functioning and how they mark a new era in the evolution of libraries through civilization. The emphasis has been on the methodologies and functioning of e-libraries, their techniques and the equipment they employ, the effect and the changes they have brought about in the field of library science and how they may be liked in the future. The problems and the issues surrounding it, which include issues such as archiving and preservation of information, intellectual property rights, etc., have also been given space to. Compendious and exhaustive, it is hoped that the book serves well for all professionals in library science.
