DIGITAL LIBRARY AND TEACHING – LEARNING

Abstract This paper focus on digital libraries are evolving to meet the needs of teaching and learning and identifies issues for continued development. We distinguish formal, informal, and professional learning and argue that digital libraries will allow teachers and students to use information resources and tools that have traditionally been physically and conceptually inaccessible. We illustrate the types of information resources that digital libraries offer to teachers and learners and discuss some of the issues and challenges that digital libraries present for teaching and learning.
