All over the world, libraries have begun the great task of making faithful digital copies of the books and records that protect the mental efforts of mankind*.

First, it helps them preserve rare and easily broken objects without refusing the demands of those who wish to study them. The British Library, for example, holds the only medieval (middle-aged) manuscript of Beowuif in London. Only quantified scholars were allowed to set and put the images up on the Internet for anyone to use.  A second benefit is convenience. Once books arc changed to digital form, readers can find them in seconds rather than minutes. Several people can read the same book or view the same picture at the same time. Clerks are spared the chore of reserving. And libraries could use the Internet to lend their collections to those who are unable to visit in person.  The third advantage of electronic copies is that they occupy millimeters of space on a magnetic disk rather than meters on a shelf. The cost of library buildings is increasingly high. The University of California at prefix = st1 /Berkeleyrecently spent $46 million on all underground addition to house 1. 5 million books at an average cost of $30 per set of them. The price of disk storage on the contrary, has fallen to about $2 per 300-page publication and continues to drop
