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).
