Digital libraries have become essential platforms for learning, research, and knowledge dissemination. However, rapid changes in information needs, technological infrastructure, and user behavior require continuous optimization of digital library services. This study analyzes key challenges affecting students and researchers and proposes practical strategies for improving accessibility, usability, and overall service quality. Findings show that enhanced search tools, personalized services, strong digital literacy support, and reliable technological infrastructure significantly improve user satisfaction and academic outcomes.
