Abstract: 

Digital libraries are a key connector to the information resources that are necessary for the growth of research in today’s era. The ability to disseminate and promote one’s work and research is an important component of managing and communicating information. Digital libraries and the Web have brought enormously powerful search mechanisms to the desktops of many researchers. The present chapter is a conceptual approach to discuss the various aspects of digital libraries, scholarly communication, and the integration of the digital reference service in the digital environment. The chapter analyzes various skills required of the researcher for searching quality information in digital libraries. As a result, researchers should be trained to read and evaluate material from a much wider range of subjects than previously necessary.
