Nowadays the dynamics of a library have changed with the addition of a relational aspect to all its processes. The first change to happen to the academic library was a change in the way the collections were curated and developed as an electronic resource, also known as an e-journal, e-book, and online databases in varied digital formats. A demonstration of the database was presented by Balani Infotech Pvt.
