TOPIC : DIGITAL RESOURCES
INTRODUCTION
The digital teacher routinely uses digital
resourses and has his/her students use them
for a variety of purposes including research,
texts and multimedia. Students can easily
navigate and use the digital resources and are
able to annotate and insert comments on them.
Digital resources refers to any resource,
which is in digitized form. That is which can be
read & scanned by means of electronic media.
Digital resources do not require separate space
in a library as these can be stored in a computer
locally or remotely.Digital collections must be
selected, acquired, organize, made accessible &
preserved
