The leader of a campaign aimed at creating a National Digital Library. As users expect an increasing amount of content to be available, for free, on the internet, Darton thinks a National Digital Public Library is inevitable. Public Administration Project Topics and Research Materials in Nigeria 

Online libraries are beyond any shadow of a doubt, tremendous opportunities for all Internet surfers, who are still addicted to reading books, but they no longer have the time to go to the library, or buying books is not part of their budget. Therefore, they can take advantage of online resources that are usually stored and organized as eBook files. The e-format we can access in online libraries was obtained after the conversion of classic books into pdf files. It is worth pointing out that online libraries fall in two different categories according to whether the service is for free or not. Thus, an account to a payable service provides a larger offer, and, probably high quality formats. As for free accounts, such options are basically inferior to a payable service, and the differences are noticeable at face value. 

Similar to the online education format which provides students with access to a collegiate experience from anywhere via their computer, a National Digital Library would allow users to access library collections from across the nation. With a digital library of this magnitude, users in Maine could access library resources from Nigeria and vice versa. An online or ground school student in Ohio could have access to a rare, antiquated textbook only available in Nigeria. Mass communication Project Topics and Research Materials in Nigeria

The very first drawback is related to the database because free services provide a limited number of items. Regardless of the basic feature, online libraries are similarly organized, meaning that, the home page comprises the basic categories hosting the entire database, facts about the serve (how it works), log in/ log out options, subscription criteria. In essence, online libraries have a very friendly interface, usually based upon library management software. Nevertheless, the online platform has been adjusted for very specific purposes and is pretty different from the application used in traditional libraries, simply because this service means more than a library online catalogue. 

There of course are many Digital Library Systems, which are attempting to solve this problem, yet a good percentage of the information still remains under lock and key and thus is penalizing the forward progress of mankind. Indeed the problem comes when other more free flowing civilizations and societies get access to the rapid use of computers and the internet and implement digital library systems of their own, while simultaneously grabbing and sharing purchased information from those white paper holding companies who sell them to Nigeria researchers.
