Introduction and Objectives The electronic library is delivering information, whenever required, to the user's desktop, wherever that may be. Librarians therefore, will increasingly need to provide their services in some electronic form rather than face-to-face contact with their users. As academics become more willing and more accustomed to using electronic information on a regular basis, they will become increasingly dependent on technology for digital information access. In networked environment, information providers can supply their information directly to the end-user. Thus the move to an electronic information environment will radically alter the way in which a library operates and interacts with its users, and library professionals will need to consider their own future role as intermediaries. The electronic library will form a crucial part of an institution's information service provision and is likely to leave a much wider remit than that of the traditional library. This Programme addresses the Strategies for Electronic Libraries and library professionals who will undergo changes because of different ways which will be found to bring information from the creator to the end users. Methodology Experienced professors from library and information science area will conduct the sessions. The main instrument of learning will be case studies, exercises, presentations, discussions and practicals in computer lab. Expected Participants Professionals of Library and Information Science, working in corporate firms, Academic, Special and Public Library, will immensely benefit from this Programme.
