1. Introduction
It is a repository of digital resources, such as books, journals, novels, essays, and more, that can be
accessed over the Internet.

Casual readers and serious researchers can use online libraries without leaving their homes. An e-library
is a website that makes books available online around the clock. Users get access to free digital copies of
books, journals, etc. An electronic library is a specific kind of digital library. More than just databases
and information retrieval, e-libraries are becoming an essential tool for learning.

It stores digital resources in a database and offers its services online. Manuscripts, rare books, maps,
pictures, paintings, and other local history and culture artifacts have long been kept in libraries
worldwide. University libraries reflect the academic rigor of their respective institutions, and as such,
they place importance on works created within the institution, such as dissertations, studies, research
papers, etc.

Libraries are making access to digitized collections of such materials online or internal network. The
internet is also excellent for finding up-to-date local information at large public and university libraries.
The evolution from electronic document exchange to e-libraries was inevitable. An e-library's primary
advantage is its capacity to give numerous users instant, remote access to rare or frequently used
resources.
