Thank you for your patience!

I have visited the site thrice, they flash the message.

Electronic library have all information resources invisible electronic products such as CD, DVD, Video, Audio tape etc.,
In the case of digital library which have sources of information uninvisible format it means o and 1 may in pre saved in internet or systems memory

The information available on cd is not in o and 1 format

Digital library means the whole information is digitized in the form of 0s and 1s and is accessible through computers only, whereas electronic information is accessible through various electronic equipments.
In the sense of library automation, electronic library comes first then the digital library.

Electronic Library is one which has collection in different formates or medias such as Microfilm, Microcard, Microfitch, Audiotapes, Videotapes, cd-roms and Flopy Discks. Each media needs specific Device or reader to read the contents of that media.

Digital Library is one wich has collection in singal meida that is computer memory or servers. computers provide digital platfarm to multimedias. Digital sources are availabele through network also.

Electronoc library expects physical visit to access sources but digital library does not.

A Electronic Library consist electronic materials like in digital as well as analog format. for example Video tap, Audio materials etc. and it required electronic equipment for accessing that type of materials. you said that uno specific Device or reader to read & access.
In digital Library : a library consist Digital Materials and services. and digital materials are those materials which can accessed by computers or networks. these materials stored, processed and retried through digital devices.
