Online database and digital library

An online database is like a virtual storage space on the internet where information is stored in an
organized manner, making it easy to find and retrieve. It's like a gigantic digital filing cabinet where data
such as names, numbers, or other details are stored electronically. Think of it as a convenient and efficient
way to keep track of vast amounts of information without the need for physical paperwork.

On the other hand, a digital library is a digital collection of books, articles, and other reading materials
that you can access online. Imagine having a massive library at your fingertips, but instead of shelves and
dusty books, everything is available on your computer or device. You can browse, borrow, and read
materials without ever leaving your home, essentially bringing the library experience to your fingertips
through the power of the internet. Both online databases and digital libraries simplify information storage
and access, making our lives more convenient in this digital age.
