Especially for university libraries, in order to satisfy the needs of the teachers' scientific research and the students' study, they must give more attention on the digital resources establishment. On this base, university libraries can provide a better service to the users. However, due to various reasons, there are many problems in digital resources establishment in our Chinese university libraries. Such as lacking uniform standards in the database, few self-built database, serious repeated database, and other problems in the digital resources retrieval and preservation and so on. So it is essential to acquaint present situation of digital resources so as to build a reasonable number of digital resources, to optimize the structure of digital resources, and to promote information-sharing resources to build.This paper includes the following contents:First, the paper analyzes the definition, types and the characteristics of the digital resources. The author thinks that the main characteristics of the digital resources include network sharing, dependence of device and its procedure, dynamic, cross time and space, complex of the information structure, information retrieval available, information insecurity, and so on.Second, it investigates the construction of digital library resources in China's colleges and universities using network investigation method, data analysis method and integrated analysis method. The investigation contents involve introduction of Chinese and foreign database, self-construction characteristic database and construction of subject-navigation database.Third, according to the invitation, we can draw a conclusion about the characteristics of the construction of digital library resources in China's colleges and universities. That is, there are many problems in the digital resources establishment in the university libraries, such as small buying databases, serious duplication database, few self-built databases, and little content of the databases, etc. Fourth, the paper puts forward solutions to the problems.
