What are digital libraries used for?
Digital libraries provide users with online access to a wide range of resources. They are often used by students for research or by professionals seeking to stay current on the latest developments in their field.
Digital libraries can provide users with access to rare and out-of-print materials that might be difficult or impossible to locate in physical libraries. Digital libraries also offer a variety of search and sorting features, as well as social media-like features that can connect users with others to discuss topics.
As digital libraries continue to evolve, new features such as multimedia content, data visualization tools and interactive experiences are being added to software to make digital libraries even more engaging and helpful.
