Notes The digital library is ideal in support of students receiving their schooling using distance
learning education.

Digital libraries can be customized so user can have access to what they want and need to
use.
One of the largest issues in creating digital libraries will be the building of digital
collections.
Virtual Library has to support the users’ community, by providing accurate, reliable, and
affordable access to all the desired scholarly and educational electronic/internet resources.

Several Virtual Libraries have claimed the vital new areas in scholarly and educational
information service by way of technological provisions.

Virtual Libraries are the new vision of the Libraries of future.
The development of Virtual Library will take place when libraries transform themselves
into three dimensional electronic information centres.

It will be possible when data storage, data representation and image processing
technologies mature to cope with the great amounts of graphically represented data held
by the Virtual Libraries.
