They difference is only in the scope.
Dear Sir
I am agree with your comment... additional difference may be as:
a digital library always maintain or upload resources by library staff but in case of institutional repository, faculty member and staff can also upload their scholarly materials.

Agreed.
Institutional Repository: Institutional repositories are the digital collections capturing and preserving the intellectual output of a single or multi-university community. (Crow, 2002).
Digital Library: A digital library is a collection of documents in organized electronic form, available on the Internet or on CD-ROM (compact-disk read-only memory) disks. Depending on the specific library, a user may be able to access magazine articles, books, papers, images, sound files, and videos.

Main difference of Institutional repository and Digital library are:
Institutional Repository Vs Digital Library:
1. Institutional Repository are organized around a particular Institutional community while Digital Library may be May be built around any number of organizing principles (often topic, subject, or discipline).
2.Institutional Repository are dependent upon the voluntary contribution of materials by scholars for the content in their collection while Digital Library are the product of a deliberate collection development policy
3. Institutional Repository are mainly repositories and therefore may only offer limited user services while Digital Library are typically include an important service aspect (reference and research assistance, interpretive content or special resources).

I think it above discussion may help to professional to understand the basic difference between institutional repository and digital library.

Many many thanks to Mr. Parvez for added such a nice discussion, really your discussion is appreciatable

Dear Triq thanks for your participation in this discussion, your reply always remains solid, sound of your knowledge, your good back ground.

But your above this line in no. 3 "Institutional Repository are mainly repositories and therefore may only offer limited user services" I cud not understand can you please tell me in what context it is limited?

Waiting for reply.


parvez.
Dear Mr. Parvez
in the No. 3 limitation means here only scholary article, reasearch work of an institution's individual members are uploaded. thats why the scope of using the repository by users are limited in compression to digital library.
i already written faculty members on his/ her individual work uploaded in the IR whtever type of document. but in IR not uploaded the full book. thts why here not only service is limited but also scope of IR is limited.
than u tell the differentiate why u didnt write.
only for institutional production may be uploaded the particular repository but in DL any document which is the subject area of the institution may be uploaded. whether it is belong to institution or not. but in case of IR only production of particular institute may be uploaded.
and u write the scope is bigger than DL please explain in detail sir.


awaiting for you answer.
