Storage digitization

Information resources change from text on paper to electromagnetic signals on magnetic media or optical information on optical media, making the storage, transmission and query of information more convenient, and the density of stored information is high , large capacity, can be reused without loss.

Information in digital form can be processed at high speed in computers and transmitted over long distances through information networks. ***High degree of sharing

Because the information storage form and data structure are universal, open and standardized, it is easier to copy and distribute network information resources. Therefore, without considering copyright A resource can serve an unlimited number of users simultaneously with an unlimited number of copies. The network breaks the time and space boundaries of transmission. Users can obtain information resources at any time and anywhere, which maximizes the extension and expansion of the time and space scope of network information resource dissemination. Several users can use the same information resources at the same time. Diversified forms of expression

Traditional information resources are mainly information expressed in text or digital form.

Network information resources can exist in various forms such as text, images, audio, video, software, databases, etc., covering fields ranging from economy, scientific research, education, art, to specific industries and individuals.
