Face of Digital Library

[Munesh Kumar]

Dear All

I hope you are doing well... and safe.

As we know, there are lots of changes taking place in the modern education system so as in the library domain. With this post, I would like to take your feedback on the paradigm of digital libraries regarding the current and anticipated future education system. Since we are from the library science domain and have the background in the field so I would not provide meaning and definition of the digital library.

Please share your valuable thoughts, observations, work and guidance.

Thank you.

Dear Munesh,

trust you are fine there.

only to say "Learning Platform or course management system" will play a very crucial role in future.

Thanks

Hi Sir,

Thank you for your valuable inputs. You have named to a very vast area, which is, of course, true as per my concerns. But, I was also expecting some inputs at the micro-level. I have understood the reply as, Learning platforms are kinds of a universal idea that can include everything, this way my concerns are fully accommodated. Course Management System If I say Moodle or the same class solutions, will it be ok?

Please through some more lights...

Thanks a lot.

Currently digital libraries are limited to higher education institutions (HEI). May be we would witness a growing trend of digital repositories probably IRs or open-source IRs in schools? Some HEI's might opt for IRs + RDM platforms in future to give wings to their digital library initiative. With the growth in subscription based information resources may be there would be Librarians + Tough Subscription-based Negotiators in the industry too. Or every resource under the sun might be available from One-Nation One-Subscription from the government. Digital libraries would mean spike in pragmatic, IT background LIS professionals is to what I believe.
