Abstract:
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has revolutionised library and information services. Libraries are now expected to use various information technologies to provide information more expeditiously and exhaustively than before. The libraries have found it very difficult to acquire, arrange, process and disseminate information in traditional ways. Information and communication technology offers numerous possibilities to improve information management in libraries and therewith make better use of employees' knowledge. One of such options is use of intranet as internal information system of Universities, which is based on Internet protocols and services. It enables relatively inexpensive and simple storage, organization, processing, maintenance and sharing of information between the library users and library; all these tasks are essential for good information management. It could be possible easy use of libraries, very easy search of any book, research article, thesis, or any type of material in libraries because of the Information and Communication Technology. ICT presents use of various technologies such as computer, telecommunications, Internet, Intranet, application software, micrographic, reprographics, video recordings and other electronic devices for the storage, retrieval, reproduction and dissemination of information in a library environment.
