Library Digitization enabling environment framework The Technical Infrastructures are the human resource particularly, technical skills required for digitalization software selection, installation, configuration, troubleshooting and training. This IT skill is very important in light of the technical difficulties in customizing and deploying most open source software's. Hence, prior to initiating such digitalization project one has to ensure the availability of technical infrastructure i.e. technical staff trained to do software selection, installation, configuration, troubleshooting and training considering the local context. The Physical Infrastructure include the necessary Electric Power supply, Server computer, Desktops, Scanners, network infrastructure and physical space required to implement the project. The required size of Physical Infrastructure correlates with the size of the collection and the quantities of the physical infrastructure should be aligned with the time and budget of the project. The organizational infrastructure encompasses the availability of rules and regulations, incentives, commitment of management, support from the University top management. For example, the adoption of institutional open access policy will allow making the local content of the university accessible to the public. This is similar with findings of (Biradar & Banateppanavar 2013). The knowledge infrastructure concerns with the availability of content. It also deals with ensuring relevant documents are selected, the depth and width of the entire collection. Successful knowledge infrastructure incorporates contents that are relevant to the targeted users.
