The Requirement For Worthy Attribute of Library Staff in Tertiary Institution...AJHSSR Journal
: This study focuses on the requirement for worthy attribute of library staff in tertiary institutions’
library services so as to be more relevant in the new information age. This is based on the fact that institutions’
libraries are set up now to extend services beyond their physical walls, provide materials accessible by
electronic means and at the same time to provide unrestricted access to information. Invariably, to effectively
cope with their changing roles in the library system, Librarians need to avail themselves to training and
retraining programmes local, regional and international so as to keep pace with the development in the
Information Communication Technologies in the 21st Century to provide optimum services for library
users/clienteles. The study concludes that individuals must be preparing to make personal sacrifices towards
upgrading themselves. Similarly, tertiary institutions/ organisations should as a matter of obligation develop
people; it has no choice. It either helps them grow or it stunts them. It either forms them or it deforms them as
opine by Drucker, Peter F (1990). This training and retraining programmes is imperative in this new Information
Communication Technology dispensation as far as librarianship is concerned

Library futures: converging and diverging directions for public and academic ...lisld
The major influence on library futures is the changing character of their user communities. As patterns of research, learning and personal development change in a network environment so library services need to change. At the same time, libraries are focused on engaging with their communities more strongly - getting into their work and learning flows. This means that libraries are becoming more unlike each other, they are diverging as they meet the specific needs of their communities. Research libraries diverge from academic libraries, and each is different from urban public libraries, and so on.
At the same time, at a broader level libraries are experiencing similar pressures. The need to engage more strongly with their communities. The need to assess what they do. The need to configure space around experiences rather than around collections. Libraries are converging around some of these issues.
This presentation will consider the future of libraries from the point of view of convergence and divergence between types of libraries.

History and Development of Libraries.pptxJosephIThomas
Libraries have existed in India since at least the 4th century BC. Early libraries were maintained by Buddhist monasteries and royalty. By the 7th century AD, libraries were common features of important monasteries and centers of learning. Major libraries included those at Nalanda, Odantipuri, and Vikramsila universities. Over subsequent centuries, libraries grew and developed further. The modern Indian public library system began in the early 19th century and planning commissions since the 1950s have aimed to develop a national network of public libraries through various five-year plans.
