Digital Libraries in India

Abstract

Recent years have seen several digital library develop ment ini tiatives in India. To gain insight, assess and un derstand the growth, development and current status of digital li bra ry initiatives in India as refl ected through schol arly journals, 63 published studies on digital libraries in India have been reviewed. The study reveals that most articles focus on de- vel oping digital libraries and digi tal collections except for a few studies on copyright is sues and management of digital li braries. No studies have touched upon issues such as dig i tal rights management, security and digital library policies.
