Case Study: Digital Library Implementation for College
Challenge
The university housed over 250,000 physical books, journals, and research papers that were difficult to access for students and faculty across multiple campuses. The manual cataloging system was outdated, and the absence of a centralized digital system resulted in limited research collaboration, resource underutilization, and administrative delays.
