The management and preservation of digitised library resources is an important issue in the development of libraries in the digital age. This thesis aims to discuss the challenges faced by the management and preservation of digital library resources and propose some strategies to deal with them. Firstly, the concept of digital library resources and its value are introduced. Then, it analyses the challenges in managing digital library resources, including copyright protection, technology and equipment support, and long-term preservation and sustainability. Finally, several strategies are proposed, including strengthening copyright management and co-operation, leveraging new technologies and equipment to enhance resource management efficiency, and establishing a sustainable preservation mechanism for digital resources. Through research and practice, it is believed that digital library resources can be better managed and preserved for the sustainable development of digital libraries.
