7. When a new project is launched, we normally
investigate whether we know anything about it.
For projects similar to the past, we go to files and
cabinets
to search for the related documents for reference.
For unfamiliar projects we would spend time
researching
either by finding/reading reference books, surfing the net;
and
consulting senior engineers or experts to come up with a
solution.

8. This process is time consuming and not very
productive if not well facilitated

9. Introducing

10. A digital library is an integrated set of services
for capturing, cataloging, storing, searching,
protecting, and retrieving information
(Reddy et al. 1999)
A digital library typically comprises digital
collections, services and infrastructure to
support life-long learning, research, scholarly
communication and preservation
(Wikipedia 2006b).

11. Original use
Preservation: Archive of digitized copies of rare
documents, books, and historical objects
For study by people of new generations
Modern use: Material from MIT’s white paper
Central repository to store virtually all works of
faculty and staff
Preservation of all works so that they do not
vanish with time (and technological obsolescence)

repository that captures, stores, indexes, preserves,
and redistributes the intellectual output of a
university’s research faculty in digital formats.”
