Abstract
IT involves computers, electronic medias, satellite. telecommunications and
storage devices. It has made a deep impact on the academic libraries. The
emphasis of these libraries is shifting from collection to access. Academic
libraries in India still face several challenges due to the emergency of IT.
The author lists all these challenges and deals in detail about one of the
foremost challenges i.e. manpower development in the context of IT. The
provision of raising facilities on IT in the library schools. inclusion in
curriculum, short-term training facilities by other organizations. refresher
courses. participation in workshops. seminars. conferences, conventions etc.
are discussed. For their own survival and for the survival of the profession,
the librarians have to play their role effectively in future. otherwise they
will be replaced by a new group of professionals.
