| Abstract |
"Structure the digital library utilising D SPACE," the abstract title you gave, is a fine place to start, but it could be better for a research paper. Here are some recommendations: Keep the Benefit in Mind: Emphasise the advantages of utilising DSPACE for organising digital libraries rather than concentrating on the technology itself. For instance: "Enhancing Digital Library Organisation with D Space" Clarity: Think about incorporating a particular library organisation strategy that D Space discusses. For example: "Building a Flexible and Scalable Digital Library Structure using D Space" "Addressing
Discoverability Issues in Digital Libraries: A DSpace-based Metadata Management
Strategy" |

| Review of Literature | Systems for digital libraries are now essential to the management of information and the sharing of knowledge in the modern world. Therefore, improving user pleasure, behavioural intention, and total utilization requires an awareness of the elements that make digital library systems successful. A thorough framework for simulating the success of digital libraries is provided by the DeLeon (Alzahrani et al., 2019). The approach highlights how crucial system quality elements are in determining user engagement and happiness, such as the design and operation of digital libraries. For digital libraries to be as useful and impactful as possible, a strong framework must be established. In addition to the technological aspects of digital library structuring, It is crucial to take into account the role of institutional repositories. Rumery (2013) discusses the significance of institutional repositories within the framework of knowledge management and preservation. This viewpoint provides insightful information into the organizational and governance aspects of digital libraries, highlighting the need for a well-defined structure that supports the curation, preservation, and accessibility of digital assets. Furthermore, the study conducted by Newman et al. (2019) introduces the concept of a high-density DNA data storage library, which employs digital microfluidic retrieval. Although the application domain is different, the study underscores the importance of efficient data retrieval and management in digital storage systems. This insight can be adapted to enhance the retrieval and systematize of digital content within library systems, guiding the progress of innovative and efficient data structuring approaches. Overall, the reviewed literature emphasises the importance of having a well-organized digital library and offers insightful suggestions for future study aimed at improving the development and application of D-Space-based digital library systems. |
