Abstract
Technological advancement is gradually shifting the paradigm of how network records and transactions are processed and secured without third-party intervention. The importance of blockchain technology in performing these roles cannot be overstated. This technology has a wide application in the health, banking, insurance, real estate, media, and transportation sectors. Nevertheless, the role of blockchain technology in the distributed management of digital research library resources has received limited attention. This chapter discusses the distributed management of digital research library resources through blockchain technology. It explains the meaning, features, and components of blockchain technology. Concepts such as distributed library management and digital research library were clarified. The digital research library materials were highlighted along with how they can be managed. The chapter thus argues that blockchain technology can be used in the distributed management of digital research library resources.
