Digitization is an electronic process of converging information from a print format to a digital format. The process of digitization involves the scanning of the print material into digital. Computer based information system for acquiring, storing, organizing, searching, distributing and displaying digital materials for end user access; not necessarily network-based but designed and constructed so as to be capable of attaching or being attached to a network.
