32. CONCLUSION
Through this presentation we show about information Literacy, doing Research through Information Literacy by our Digital Libraries. So we will get more Information from different resources or E-resources. The retrieval of Information from e-resources may be retrieved through a common platforms like J-Stores, J-Gate, We can also customize of libraries for effective Information dissemination through these, by a common keyword a information can be downloaded from different e-resources with minimum time with accurate information and may be customized according user requirement and these customized information can be used for Information Literacy Research through a open repository software like Greenstone.
