Abstract

Information and Communications technology (ICT) has been widely applied in digital library services to improve the knowledge and the public interest. Researchers can easily obtain the information of interest through internet surfing. Digital libraries seek to provide prospective readership with alternative materials for reading. They also preserve the culture, customs that could be learnt by future generations. The utilization of digital libraries as learning resources include educational and community aspects. The purpose of this paper was to review and analyse the impact of a digital library system in education on potential readership.
