I think it is gap between the technology used in traditional library & latest library( Digital Library).

Dear Jaya,

The digital divide refers to the gap between people with effective access to digital and information technology and those with very limited or no access at all. It includes the imbalance both in physical access to technology and the resources and skills needed to effectively participate as a digital citizen. Knowledge divide reflects the access of various social groupings to information and knowledge, typically gender, income, race, and by location.   The term global digital divide refers to differences in access between countries.

(Fom Wikipedia)

 

The concept of DIGITAL DIVIDE is explained in the following papers:
