What is an electronic library?
Electronic library is a library that provides services through electronic media. As a kind of library, it must have the functions of library, information reserve and information provision. First of all, there must be information resources, including newspapers, periodicals, books, dissertations, conference papers, case files and work reports ... Of course, these must be digital. Then, it should have retrieval and navigation functions so that users can find the information they need. Finally, there should be information services and providing functions so that users can obtain (search, read, download ...) this information.

It is easy to build a digital library, but it is very difficult to do. It needs to collect massive data resources, various databases and so on, and of course it also needs a lot of financial support. Individuals cannot run digital libraries. Even if you can download some books and periodicals from the internet, you need a lot of storage, servers and other equipment support, and may also involve authorization issues. However, as an individual, an information service website can be established to provide navigation services for a specific major or discipline, which will also be welcomed by users. Maybe it will develop into a famous commercial website one day. Wish you success!
