The implementation of a digital library using web services represents a transformative approach to managing and distributing information resources in academic and research environments. This study explores the design, architecture, and deployment of a web service–based digital library system that enables seamless access to electronic resources through standardized communication protocols such as SOAP and REST. The proposed model enhances interoperability between heterogeneous systems and supports real-time data retrieval, cataloging, and metadata management. By employing a service-oriented architecture (SOA), the digital library ensures scalability, platform independence, and ease of integration with existing institutional repositories. The implementation leverages XML and JSON for data exchange, providing flexibility for both users and administrators. Results indicate significant improvements in resource accessibility, system performance, and user satisfaction compared to traditional library automation systems. Overall, the project demonstrates that web service–driven digital libraries can effectively bridge the gap between information providers and users, fostering knowledge sharing and digital preservation in a globally connected academic ecosystem.

This paper effectively develops a digital library, which is highly relevant to university libraries. Any user, regardless of knowledge, could easily comprehend the reports of various actions, such as the availability of books, the number of duplicates, fines, etc., using this application. Users must be permitted to access services by the administrator to ensure security.
