Digital Library
A library in which a significant proportion of the resources are available in machine-readable format … accessible by means of computers.
The digital content may be locally held or accessed remotely via computer networks.
In libraries, the process of digitization began with the catalog, moved to periodical indexes and abstracting services, then to periodicals and large reference works, and finally to book publishing.

Very glad you've added this-- I'm going to recommend we make an online catalog record for this link [Horse in Blackfoot Culture]. At our university, this gets heavy use, and only the locked Special Collections copy has reliably been available.
