With the introduction of new IT, Libraries redesigned their facilities to borderless world to support the society. Libraries use IT to manage housekeeping operations, communications, facilities and services and to provide better consistency in value added Library activities. It also assists Libraries in performing their operations and services most efficiently in a systematic way for rendering better and satisfying services to different user needs and to create an effective and intensive impact on all aspects of the present Library environment.
