Abstract: In the digital age, the way we access and interact with information has undergone a profound transformation. Web - based library services represent a pivotal development in this transformation, reshaping how libraries operate and how patrons engage with resources. This article explores the evolution, benefits, and future prospects of web - based library services. Web - based library services have evolved significantly since their inception. Early digital libraries were primarily concerned with providing basic online access to catalogues and collections. Today, they encompass a wide range of sophisticated services, including digital collections, e - books, online journals, and interactive learning tools.
