a. Introduction
Digital Libraries are being created today for diverse communities and in different fields e.g. education, science, culture, development, health, governance and so on. With the availability of several free digital Library software packages at the recent time, the creation and sharing of information through the digital library collections has become an attractive2 and feasible proposition for library and information professionals around the world.
Library automation has helped to provide easy access to collections through the use of computerized library catalogue such as On-line Public
Access Catalog (OPAC). Digital libraries differ significantly from the traditional libraries because they allow users to gain an on-line access to and work with the electronic versions of full text documents and their associated images. Many digital libraries also provide an access to other multi-media content like audio and video.
b. Background of the study
Digital libraries are an important and active research area. Conceptually, a digital library is an analog of a traditional library-a large collection of information sources in various media-coupled with the advantages of traditional technologies. However, digital libraries differ from their traditional counter-parts in significant ways: storage is digital, remote access is quick and easy, and materials are copied from a master version. Furthermore, keeping extra copies on hand is easy and is not hampered by budget and storage restrictions, which are major problems in traditional libraries. Thus, digital technologies overcome many of the physical and economic limitations of traditional libraries.
