Abstract:
The study provides an outlook on the various digitization tools and techniques for library materials - manuscripts, printed documents and archiving materials. The term “digitization” was coined in the late 1990s. Many libraries still do not make use of this useful technique at the root levels for the benefit of the research user community. To overcome this hurdle, here the researchers have presented the digital initiation in India at national level in addition to the relevant tools, software, techniques, file formats, storage and other techniques.
