Libraries have adapted to the digital world by going global with online catalogs and resources, making local digital content more accessible worldwide, and licensing electronic resources. They leverage digital initiatives to provide publishing opportunities through global exposure, commercial content repositories, and collaborative licensing of local content. Libraries also manage various levels of access to digital materials from open to restricted.
