Abstract:
Developments in Electronic Publishing and creation of Electronic
Documents are facilitating in the establishment of Digital Libraries.
Digital Libraries are being implemented by people who work not only
within conventional libraries but also by people who do not consider
themselves librarians or publishers. The World Wide Web has created
new professions. Research in digital libraries has become a vibrant
academic sub-discipline, with computer scientists working along with
economists, sociologists, lawyers and librarians. This is an
interdisciplinary body of expertise, which is emerging. The paper
outlines the developments in the e-Publishing, e-Documentary sources,
copyright and intellectual property rights and organization of these
documents and the impact on the Library and Information Centers.
