How many libraries in the world are fully digitized and it provides complete information to the users?
The role of librarian may be extinct in future?so in that context
I am asking questions:
ย 1. How many libraries in the world provide fultext e-books, e-journal, databases and others e-information?
2. How many libraries in the world are fully digitized and provide complete information to the users, and they are accessing information through laptop, desktop?
ย 3. Even in India how many libraries and information centre fully automated and digitized? Is the national library in (Kolkata) India fully automated or digitized? Can we access document through Internet?
Even the Library of Congress, Washington, D.C. (The National Library, U.S.A,).Today the library ranks as one of the largest national libraries of its kind and occupies an eminent place in the world. We cannot access a single information through net on seating in a room. So how can say the role of librarian may ย extinct in future, its worng the role librarian in electronic era bright whose work routinely involves information retrieval and dissemination via the internet and the use of other online resources.
The Internet isnโt free: Number of academic research papers, journals and other important materials are virtually inaccessible to someone seeking to pull them off the web for free. Rather, access is restricted to expensive subscription accounts, which are typically paid for by libraries.Visiting the library in person, or logging in to the library through your member account is therefore the only way to affordably access necessary archived resources.
Digital Libraries are not the Internet: A fundamental understanding of what the Internet is โ and what it isnโt โ can help more clearly define what a library is, and why libraries are still extremely important. While one might use the Internet or a search engine to find these databases, deeper access to them requires registration. You are still online, but you are no longer on the Internet. You are in a library.

Dear Mr.Shamsher,
You should try to understand why i am posting this discussion. Let me know that one LIS professional posting discussion "The role of librarian may be extinct in future?"So that I am asking above said questions. Everybody know everything change with time, but rules & formulas doesnโt change only technology/technological work is change, earlier you were issuing book in manual now due to technology u are issuing books through computer. You can suggest me a name which library in India fully digitized? So that you shall access each and every information in a library through Internet.
