Dear NETTRAINers,
I need some advice...what is the difference between:
Digital Library
Electronic Library
Web-Based Library

Is there one?  Is the choice of which word to use primarily a matter of
choice?
I've tended to define digital library as a collection of scanned full-text
materials created from print primary documents.  Electronic library as a
collection of databases from a variety of sources including Internet and
Web-Based library as a collection of Web-based resources.  Does this work
for you?  I've not found any really good clarifications at any of the sites
that I've visited that call themselves one thing or another.   FYI, chances
are if you give me lots of help I'll quote your response in my forthcoming
book (I'm struggling to meet a deadline of 12/15).
Di
