          <dc:title>A Study on the Challenges and Opportunities Faced in Digital Libraries Services (Case Study: Sarpay Beikman Library and National Library of Myanmar (Yangon)) ( Cho Zar Htun, 2025)</dc:title>
          <dc:creator>Cho Zar Htun</dc:creator>
          <dc:description>This study investigates the challenges and opportunities associated with digital
library services in the Yangon Region, focusing on the experiences of users, faculty
members, and library staff at Sarpay Beikman Library and the National Library of
Myanmar (Yangon). The main objectives are to examine the challenges faced in
accessing and utilizing digital library services and to explore the opportunities these
platforms offer in enhancing information access, learning, and academic. The study
employs a descriptive method, with primary data collected from 300 respondents
through structured questionnaires distributed at Sarpay Beikman Library and the
National Library of Myanmar (Yangon). The findings highlight that users face various
challenges, including limited accessibility due to unreliable internet, inadequate
training, content availability issues, cybersecurity risks, and technological constraints.
However, the study also indicates significant opportunities, such as improved
accessibility, user-friendly interfaces, rich and diverse digital content, cost-efficiency,
and enhanced academic productivity. These results suggest that while digital libraries
offer substantial opportunities, addressing existing challenges through strategic
investment, user education, and infrastructure development is essential for maximizing
their potential and ensuring equitable access to information and learning resources.</dc:description>
