Bioinformatics Digital Library

Abstract

Digitization has revolutionized every field of our lives. Starting from the print media it has gone through the broadcast media and now a number of other storage media. The academic learning resources, though have taken lead, yet other such institutions are not lacking behind. Bioinformatics is such an area where the possibilities of digitization can be explored. The paper opens with the remarks that digital libraries are multifaceted systems. The area it has covered includes molecular biology, protein databanks, genome data, computer science and mathematics etc. The new phrase computational biology has been added for the readerâ s quest. The paper deals in some basic, technical and analytical questions relating to digitization. The application of Internet has been adjusted as the backbone of digitization. The paper also discusses the different field of bioinformatics which has been covered in the development of bioinformatics digital library at Jaypee University of Information Technology, Solan (HP).
