Digital libraries


Digital libraries allow the customer to read their books online or on a wireless device. The only digital library in existence at the moment is the Amazon Kindle store, where you can buy or borrow books, which are then down loaded onto your personal device, but many more are constantly being developed around the world. By doing this it means that you don’t have to leave your home to get a new book and you don’t even have to carry a heavy paper or hard back book around wherever you go.
They have helped with the academic growth of the internet for a number of reasons. Firstly, they have allowed a wider range of books to become available to a wider audience all over the world, which in an academic world can only be a good thing. Secondly they have encourages the people who spend all of their time on electronically devices to read more as they still have the comfort of it being electric and having a screen on it.
