Abstract: Library without wall or a scientifically managed collection of information resources and services available electronically through Internet are nothing but the virtual library. The paper mainly discusses about the concept and the birth of VL. Emphasis has been given to the planning and management of VL which includes planning, mission and scope, time frame, infrastructures required, evaluation and assessment, etc. The paper focuses on the management and funding and also describes the influence of internet on VL along with user awareness and reference service. Some light has been thrown on the commercial consortia which provides the concept of e-journals, J-Gate, ACM portal, etc.
