Description

Today's challenges for special libraries are getting worse. In spite of their reliance on the internet for information, their biggest issue is proving that they are the finest source of specialised information. Therefore, special libraries must adapt their services, roles, and collections as well as develop change management plans. The term "preservation" refers to a group of actions taken to increase a record's value, extend its shelf life, or make it easier to retrieve by non-intrusive methods. This covers steps done to sway record producers before selection and purchase. Information of lasting importance must be protected in order for present and future generations to have access to it. Preservation has traditionally been primarily addressed by libraries and archives, both of which consider preservation as one of their fundamental missions. In recent years, numerous significant libraries and archives have established formal preservation programmes for traditional materials. This book aims to present all fundamental facets of a digital library in a genuine but straightforward manner. It discusses the radical adjustments made to the way libraries are organised, managed, and operated by digital libraries.
