Dear Govind, A digital library is organized and structured collection of digital format for further use. A digital library assists its users in searching, evaluating and utilizing resources irrespective of their format. Digital libraries combine collection, services and expertise in a seamless interface.

Some times both terms are interchangeable.

Govind sir,

A digital library is organized and structured collection of digital objects in a distributed environment. A digital library assists its users in searching, evaluating and utilizing resources irrespective of their format. Digital libraries combine collection, services and expertise in a seamless interface.


An electronic library is a library consisting of electronic materials and services. Electronic materials can include all digital materials, as well as a variety of analog formats that require electricity to use. For example, video tapes are an analog format that requires electronic equipment to view. Thus the term "electronic library" encompasses all the material that can be held by a "digital library", and is therefore more inclusive. It is, however, out of style.
