Abstract

Rapid advances in information technologies have revolutionized the role of libraries. As a result, libraries face new challenges, competitors, demands and expectations. Libraries are redesigning services and information products to add value to their services and to satisfy the changing information needs of the user community. Traditional libraries are still handling largely printed materials that are expensive and bulky. Information seekers are no longer satisfied with only printed materials. They want to supplement the printed information with more dynamic electronic resources. Demands for digital information are increasing. The present study aims to find out the perception of library & information science students of Mizoram University on digital library. Findings show a positive perception by majority of the students.
