An e-library, or digital library, is a collection of
digital resources like e-books, articles, audio, and
video files, organized in digital form and accessible

materials, e-libraries store information in digital
formats.
The concept of the e-library has multiple
foundational figures, including Vannevar Bush, who

further developed the ideas in the 1960s and envisioned modern digital
libraries. However, Michael S. Hart is widely recognized for creating
the first digital library, Project Gutenberg, in 1971, making digital
texts publicly available on a computer network.
E-libraries provide a convenient, cost-effective, and flexible way to
access information from anywhere at any time, allowing for quick
searches and easy sharing of resources.
