However, this information explosion has given way to another challenge, i.e. dealing with the problem of plenty. With too much information being made available, it has become impossible for today's researchers, scientists and students to effectively deal with new knowledge and its application for their studies and research. As we move ahead in the digital world, librarians have been playing a critical role of being the facilitators to access the digital learning resources. This unprecedented shift towards digital modes of education due to the Covid 19 pandemic has created the need for highly skilled and well trained information management professionals across various domains.

More and more organizations in India are embarking on new concepts in handling information. With the changing times, information formats also have changed rapidly from print on paper to digital.
