Information items undergo digitization when they are transformed from analogue to digital form. Books, papers, and manuscripts are digitized when they are transformed into an electronic format, specifically an image format, that can be read by machines. Any user, from any location, may easily access digitized content, and several users can share a single document at the same time. This study investigates the impact of digitalization on library services in Gadag District, focusing on the integration of digital tools and technologies into library operations. The findings reveal a significant relationship between digitalization and improved library operations, user satisfaction, and service accessibility. However, challenges such as infrastructure limitations, insufficient marketing of digital services, data privacy concerns, and the digital divide are prevalent. Statistical analyses, including ANOVA and correlation assessments, support these conclusions, indicating that while digitalization presents numerous benefits, addressing the identified challenges is crucial for maximizing effectiveness.
