Virtual Library is depended upon only Internet. Without Internet no virtual Library can aspect any where. And Digital Library is as well as internet and Digitel form of Printed materials. It would be work with CDs and DVDs. On the other hand Digitel Library is the combination of Virtual and digitel form of study material.

Digital Library contains all information in digital form means binary digits and includes CD & DVDs.
Electronic Library contains all information in analog forms ex: Video tapes.
Virtual Library is depended upon only Internet. Without Internet cannot access any information. V.L. is a collection of full text of e-books, Journals and databases. This V.L contains electronic stocks without any physical space or location.
