Theme: Digital Preservation: Re-Imagining Research Experience Through the Use of E-Library

Digital preservation is a complex technical, social, economic, and organizational issue. Its complexity in E-libraries stems from the fact that it is interwoven into the process of creating, using, and maintaining a wide array of digital materials and collections. The sustainability of digital content depends on the careful management of preservation risks, organizational policies, institutional commitment, and technical infrastructure (Bradley, 2007; Corrado and Moulaison, 2014).

One major importance of the e-Library is its role in Research. The implementation of the e-Library greatly assists librarians, educationists, and the entire public in obtaining information more quickly. It will be right to say that research experience can best be re-imagined through the use of e-Library.

Therefore, there is a dire need for digital preservation because it is the conduit pipe for the effective use of e-Library.
