Digital resource is increasing in this modern age due to increase in technological impact and its peripherals. IDRs will additionally include digital materials that subsist outside the physical and administrative bounds of any one digital library. IDRs will include all the processes and accommodations that are the backbone and nervous system of libraries. However, such traditional processes, though composing the substratum digital library work, will have to be revised and enhanced to accommodate the differences between incipient digital media and traditional fine-tuned media. One of the most immensely colossal issues in engendering IDRs will be the building of digital accumulations. Conspicuously, for any digital library to be viable, it must eventually have a digital amassment with the critical mass to make it genuinely subsidiary. One thing IDRs will not be is a single, consummately digital system that provides instant access to all information, for all the students of all libraries and also from anywhere in the world. In this research paper researcher chooses OPUS, popular digital library software that can create and manage the digital environment in libraries. It is helpful both for the students and librarians also because they are able to access, download and upload the relevant documents. Within a coordinated digital library scheme, some prevalent standards will be needed to sanction IDRs to interoperate and apportion resources. OPUS is institutional digital repository open source software that can easily manage and upload all the documents of different file types available in libraries. It also provides tools for creating digital collections for storage and dissemination of intellectual sources for academic institutions.
