The term Digital Library refers to a wide array of different organisations and collections that share the common trait of exposing digital content to a community of users. Digital libraries are applied in many different contexts ranging from academic institutions to public libraries, archives, museums and industries. The type of content that is stored in digital libraries varies depending on the organisation, it can either be reproduction of physical objects or content which is "born digital".
"The Alexandria Digital Research Library (ADRL) is UC Santa Barbara Library's home for collections of digital research materials, including images, text, streamed media, and numeric and spatial data. This comprehensive digital library, when complete, will provide access to millions of hidden digital research assets in UCSB Library's possession, and serve as a single search access point."
Driving growth and agility in a digital transformation era doesn't come easy. A digital transformation involves more than just technology. It is a continuous process and a mix of people, process and technology. Infrastructure Managed services play a key role in the digital transformation strategy. ACL Digital's Infrastructure Managed Services not only simplify the complex digital transformation processes making it seamless and cost-effective but also help businesses to adapt to a hyper-competitive marketplace, stay on top of tech trends, and drive revenue.
The vision of a national digital library has been circulating among librarians, scholars, educators, and private industry representatives since the early 1990s, but it has not yet materialized. Efforts led by a range of organizations, including the Library of Congress, HathiTrust, and the Internet Archive, have successfully built resources that provide books, images, historical records, and audiovisual materials to anyone with Internet access. Many universities, public libraries, and other public-spirited organizations have digitized materials that could be brought together under the frame of the DPLA, but these digital collections often exist in silos.

The Known Universe takes viewers from the Himalayas through our atmosphere and the inky black of space to the afterglow of the Big Bang. Every star, planet, and quasar seen in the film is possible because of the world's most complete four-dimensional map of the universe, the Digital Universe Atlas that is maintained and updated by astrophysicists at the American Museum of Natural History. The new film, created by the Museum, is part of an exhibition, Visions of the Cosmos: From the Milky Ocean to an Evolving Universe, at the Rubin Museum of Art in Manhattan through May 2010.

In Contempt of various potential advantages offered by way of modern technologies and capacities, the biopharmaceutical organization has commonly been slow to digitize its clinical trial process. Many biopharma corporations nowadays think about digital as a set of technology, structures, and superior analytics, which may include connected devices, mobile applications, artificial intelligence (AI), and robotics. The first-moving organization is also typically focusing on the fragmented solution and piloting technologies in exclusive areas of clinical trial and development to aid the existing scenario.
DIGITAL LIBRARIES
Capturing images of manuscripts, art, and artifacts, digital libraries are an excellent way of both preserving the past and sharing it with everyone.
"The Bodleian Libraries of the University of Oxford and the Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana (Vatican Library) have joined efforts in a landmark digitization project with the aim of opening up their repositories of ancient texts. Over the course of the next four years, 1.5 million pages from their remarkable collections will be made freely available online to researchers and to the general public."
