Abstract
Digital library systems compose a family of automated systems that together provide a comprehensive capability to manage the digital content of an enterprise. As keepers and providers of information, the age-old social responsibility of libraries is re-emerging in the information society. In this paper the investigator tried to study the steps taken by the Engineering colleges towards the installation of Digital libraries, study the digital collection development, digital services of the libraries, identify the constraints in the digital library initiatives, and offer suggestions towards the improvement of digital library services.

Summary
Information technology and globalization are likely to change the nature of libraries and their activities. The library services are in transition from local traditional collections to global resources provided on demand via the most advanced networking technologies. With the advent of the internet, individuals’ expectations for access to information have increased dramatically. Digital library systems compose a family of automated systems that together provide a comprehensive capability to manage the digital content of an enterprise. As keepers and providers of information, the age-old social responsibility of libraries is re-emerging in the information society. The investigator tried to study the steps taken by the Engineering colleges towards the installation of Digital libraries, study the digital collection development, digital services of the libraries, identify the constraints in the digital library initiatives, and offer suggestions towards the improvement of digital library services
