Abstract

Digital libraries are here to stay and the conversion of traditional to digital is inevitable. The digital librarian will become the guardian of digital information and will be the vehicle to preserve democratic access to information. The digital librarian's role will be increasingly towards offering consultancy to the users in their efforts in providing digital reference services, electronic information services, navigating, searching and retrieval of digitized information through web documents that span the Universal digital library or the Global Digital Library. The article highlights the role of a librarian in the development of digital library, design and development of web pages and also provides a brief overview of the main issues in digital preservation.
