A heightened amount of choice

Digital libraries offer access to multiple contents with a potentially
infinite number of resources and selections. The main limit for
traditional libraries is represented by physical space: printed books
consume a lot of it and people often have to walk around in search of
a particular material.

Thanks to the Internet and cloud storage, digital libraries overcome
this limitation, expanding students’ horizons in learning. They can
access an enormous amount of knowledge and share content with
others, facilitating the expansion of education.
Building a heritage for the next generation

Online libraries help the scientific society since they act as a
reservoir for the storage of important research data, information, and
findings. For a long time, the physical records of scientific studies
and research had to live with a critical issue: their distruction or
loss.
