As much as the readers and enthusiasts have loved and been dependent upon the conventional library for reading, they are slowly beginning to adopt digital libraries. Libraries are a valuable resource for every reader. Over the years, people have believed in conventional libraries where you have to go to the physical library, look for the books in the appropriate section, rent it, read it, and return them. However, the conventional system needs infrastructure, added maintenance, work behind keeping the hard copy of books safe for many years, and readers to go out to the library. Viewing these hindrances, the Universal Digital Library was launched as part of the Million Book Project.
At present, readers can access the Universal Digital Library online and read from the collection of millions of books scanned and cataloged by the team. The readers can use the advanced search options on the website to find relevant e-books or content in a matter of seconds. Users can also browse through the collection of eBooks and digital resources to choose and select anything to read. By keying in the book title, author, year of publication, subject, and language any reader can find the book they want to read with much ease.
Digital Libraries are giving power to the readers to continue reading irrespective of the obstacles. They can access books on their smartphone, laptop, computer, tablet or any smart device for that matter enabled with an internet connection. Naturally, the upside of a digital library is the preservation of books. Unlike the hard copies, digital copies of the books are timeless. They may remain in the archives for years to come without bearing any marks of the time.
