Abstract

Libraries, which were once the sole gateway to information and knowledge are no longer the same. As more information becomes freely available, the concept of digitization of information is gaining momentum. 'Digital Libraries' clearly are the way to future. This revolution in the library function is well underway in universities and research sectors and is also happening in schools, corporations and even in public libraries. The present study was undertaken to gain an insight into the acceptability and perceived usage of digital libraries in the Indian context and to identify issues associated with it among the management faculty members. The results show that there is a growing acceptance of digital libraries among the management faculty members who perceive it mainly as a good research repository.
