Rapid advances in information processing, storage and communication technologies have revolutionized the role of world wide libraries in disseminating information services to their users.

The paper gives a brief description of digital Library; highlights the methods of building digital collection; use of digital libraries and the problems of digital libraries and concludes with a brief description of the digital library projects initiated in different parts of the world.
