Аннотация

This article provides an extensive comparative analysis of electronic libraries (digital libraries) and traditional (physical) libraries. It explores in depth the fundamental differences in accessibility, cost structures, preservation methods, user experience, information retrieval efficiency, social roles, technical requirements, copyright issues, and future prospects. While traditional libraries offer a tangible, curated environment, cultural heritage preservation, and community-building functions, electronic libraries provide unmatched convenience, speed, 24/7 remote access, powerful search capabilities, and multimedia integration. The article concludes that neither system is superior in all aspects; rather, a hybrid model that integrates both systems offers the most sustainable and inclusive future for library services in the digital age.
