In this era of information explosion, the tremendous amount of information is being generated and transmitted from every corner of the world in forms of print materials, research articles, lectures, presentations video conferencing, technical reports, standards and patents etc. In the early stages of 20th century, libraries were facing the problems, of how to cater and fulfill the users’ demand in minimum span of time. This solution was to adopt the ICT based products & services. To deal with new challenges and increasing needs of users, LIs professionals are reconsolidating, reshaping, redesigning and repackaging their services and information products by incorporating ICT based products & services. For applying ICT based products & services in libraries, LIS professional have to be expert in Computer Literacy.
Owing to ICT enabled products & services, libraries have changed the way, in terms of the provision of information services. These products and services are the integration of computer and communication technology which can be applies, to store and disseminate the information. They have changed the traditional practices of libraries in delivery of services. Now users can have access to a variety of information and digital archives of libraries (i.e. digital library, library consortium and institutional repository) from anywhere, as well as can get update activities of libraries by the SMS on Mobile. It also helps the users to access, manage, integrate, evaluate, create, and communicate with other users more easily than ever, as made possible by the emergence of library 2.0. Significant developments in ICT have forever changed the way of information is gathered, processed and disseminated.
All these services became the possible by the use of Computer literacy by LIS professional.
