Ya this is right but library needs some change so that users attract towards it because internet cannot provide us every type of information at any place and at any time.

Dear Professionals,

The print version of information has its own distinction. Physicaly form of a document shall ever be preffered by readers dosen't matter how much we progress technically.

You imagine yourself reading something by a book and in another case reading the same from computer screen. The touch you will meet from/by a book can't be realized by reading on laptop/computer.

Perhaps you did not noticed the young generation. They search over Google siting in front of their home computer than to visit a library. Perhaps you also spend much time over Internet than to read a physical book. Just a thought.

But now the trend is changing. Nobody comes to library to see the Railway timing or Bioling Point of water. Because 90% of basic queries of reference source/information available at Google.com. Except textbook for appaering examination to clear Under Graduate or Post Graduate levels are being issued by students. But reference books, Research Journals required for S&T Professionals are available in electronic form and they access it at mouse click.

 

So my point is for college/university libraries the profession will remain in hybrid condition but in Special libraries theere is paradigm shift.

Change is inevitable & if we cann't cope up with the change we cann't survive at all. so to sustain in this ever-changing world, we the Library Professionals, like others, have to upgrade our type of services in such a way that can attract the readers automatically. 

Thinkabout this age of "Information explotion ", where Internet can serve the purpose of getting more information ---true, but it's the Information Provider( i.e. LIS Professionals) who can only provide the right information to the right person at the right moment.

So the sustainability of Library Profession will depend on the quality to deliver the service to the information-seekers.
