Library digitization crucial for global access and preservation of resources.
Library digitization is the process of converting paper documents into digital ones to make them more accessible and preserve them.

This chapter emphasizes the importance of library digitization in preserving and improving access to library resources. It discusses the benefits, tools, misconceptions, stages, and challenges of library digitization, as well as provides recommendations for libraries to enhance their digitization efforts.
