The incoming of 21th century, brings library a entirely new digitized and networked era. While the rapidly development of information technology such as computer and the Internet, the ability of access to information of human being have progressed greatly. The ocean of library digital storage and thousands of databases provide endless information. But the library digital storage such as the databases have lots of differences in the format, representation; accessibility and interoperability, all these are becoming a bottleneck for the users to access these information. In the other hand, In the digital library environment, the information requirement and retrieval patterns of users have changed a lot, and some new characteristics have emerged. So the importance of digital resource integration is becoming more and more emergence for the information professionals both theory and practically.A lot of new phenomenon has emerged in the field of information science which connected closely with the information technology in the digital library environment. At first, the rapidly developments of storage digital resources challenges the traditional resources collections theory in the library and information organizations, and this paper studies the more detailed contents of storage digital resource includes its definition, characteristic, types completely. Information science should also emphasis the study of the information users in the digital library environment. In one hand the differences in the content and patterns of networked information, in the other hand the new characteristic of requirement and behavior of the users in the digital library environment, so the importance of library storage digital resource integration becoming more and more clearly. The digital resourceintegration means to organize the digital information resources by the means of information technology in order to be retrievable and using..The task of library storage digital resource integration is the deeper and more creative effort in the information fundamental theory in the one hand, but also has importance in the field of information professional practice. The libraries and information organizations have more and more emphasis on the library storage digital resource especially the databases, traditionally, to organize the knowledge and information is the core task of libraries and information institute, to organize the library storage digital information that have lots of differences both in the contents and patterns, to serve the users needs more closely, that is the direction for the future for the libraries and information institutes.At last, the paper intents to completely describe the function and structure of a bibliographic search gateway- wGate, and a distributed collaborative mesh named wMesh which is based on wGate. A registry is provided to record these messages include attribute of metadata elements, templates, and mapping between templates.
