PERSPECTIVES OF DIGITAL LIBRARIES IN MEDICAL EDUCATION

Master of Library and Information Science

Digital libraries are being built upon a firm foundation of prior work as the high-end information systems of the future. Digital repositories are developing rapidly as a key element of research cyber infrastructure. Even when research institutions are grappling with difficult budget decisions in the current economic environment, they need to have a strategy for providing repository services. Libraries are making diverse contributions to the development of many types of digital repositories particularly those housing locally created digital content including new digital objects or digitized versions of locally held work. This paper discusses the various aspects of digitization of resources in medical education. It also describes the digitization initiatives that have taken place in medical education. It discusses about Scope, Merits, Features, Development of technical challenges, National and International Networks and so on.
