Abstract
University libraries have vast store of information in various forms. These sources of
information can be accessed through Internet from any corner of the world. But Indian
University libraries are lagging behind in this direction. But they can not afford to remain
isolated form the world of information. There is a need to cat up with modern trends, which is
possible only through digitization of libraries. The present paper tries to analyse the present
scenario of Indian University libraries and made an attempt to propose digital libraries in
Indian Universities. The proposed development of Digital University libraries have been
suggested in three phases .Phase I: Acquiring Materials in Digital form; Phase II.: Digitization
of Thesis, Dissertations, Manuscripts and Rare Books. Phase III: digitization of books and
Journals . Lastly author has suggested that INFLIBNET which has taken up automation and
networking of university libraries in India should extend its programmes to digitization of
university libraries.
