Benefits

Organisations can benefit from a digital library solution by ATC as follows:

Digital library will supplement an organisation or even an educational system by making knowledge available to anyone who can read and has access to. This unique web resource could be made available to everyone around the world and will enhance the learning process.
Making this large knowledge repository can revolutionize research, e.g. at all levels of education and give a much-needed boost at minimal cost to educational infrastructure. This impact will be further enhanced given the convenience of online access, and the benefit of full text searching at word and phrase level as well as metadata.
Online search is to make locating the relevant information inside of books far more reliable and much easier. An educational perspective is student success in finding exactly what they seek will increase and increased success will enhance student willingness to perform research using this large resource. This digital library would be open all week on a 24x7x365 basis. More than one individual will be able to use the same book at the same time. Thus, popular works will not be checked out and thus unavailable to others.
Digitisation services that allow organisations and establishments to succeed in providing access copies for materials that would otherwise fall to degradation from repeated use.
