Digital libraries can vary immensely in size and scope, and can be maintained by individuals, organizations, or affiliated with established physical library buildings or institutions, or with academic institutions.
Traditional concept of library is mostly based on print materials; a very important part is how the introduction of technology has affected the communication and interaction between librarians and library users.
