N2  - Librarianship, which involves a number of interrelated functions and activities, aims at serving the user population with knowledge and information. The multiple facets of librarianship are greatly influenced by the application of information and communications technology (ICT). Acquisition, organization, storage and retrieval techniques have been modified and improved in the light of new technologies. LIS professionals are expected to be well-versed with ICT tools. ICT can help libraries to develop a collaborative and participative environment that is necessary to develop user-centric library services. Advancement in technology has made online connectivity easier and faster, helping the libraries to share the knowledge resources in real-time. Web technology gives libraries the opportunity to offer improved customer-driven service to users. With so many technological changes occurring so quickly, virtual libraries will soon become a reality
