Abstract
This study was carried out in National Centre for Agricultural Mechanization (NCAM) situated at Ifelodun Local Government Area (LGA) of Kwara State, Nigeria. The research work examines how digital library is responding to the challenges of delivering core services to e-learners. The paper examined technology and library practices being applied in the construction of digital libraries. Challenges and opportunities which digital libraries bring to the support of e-learners, as well as the importance of providing support within a collaborative environment, which stresses human factors such as communication and interaction, will also be discussed.
