In this modern era, all the sectors of life are improving day by day. The digitalization of labraries are now becoming more crucial for future studies. Some might consider it negative development but I consider it extremely beneficial for positive development. Not only because it is more cost effective and environment friendly, but also because it requires less space for storing books.
There are numerous benefits associated to modern libraries. Firstly, such libraries require less price. As there is no need to purchase hard form versions of books. The books are stored in soft form for long period of time.Take an example of library of Japan, whose purchasing cost are diminished to 70% after digitalization of libraries. Hence, such system is requires less cost.
Secondly, relying on more soft form resources is extremely viable for conservation of envrionment. As there is no requirement of high amount of wood pulp used to make paper material. For instance, in 2025, World Conservation of Environment Organization stated that with the digitalization trend, the need to cut down healthy trees is lessen. Thus, this modern technique supports envvironment health.
Finally, soft form of books requires no space to store books and manage them rather they are stored in the form of digital binary system. As a result there is no risk of damage to books. It also helps in storing large quantities of books in a small size advanced computer systems.
To sum up, there maybe some disadvantages associated with this trend but with low cost, long term material preservation and conveneint to manage fairly large number of books made this development positive.
