They have emerged as critical contributors to academic excellence, information literacy, and research support within educational institutions. During the talk, I will examine the librarian's role in the digital era and how Librarians have to transform from traditional to digital by enabling various online services and helping institutions with their accreditation and ranking process by providing innovative services. Furthermore, the talk will highlight librarians' crucial support in the research process. From assisting in literature reviews and research methodologies to helping scholars access relevant databases and resources, librarians play a vital role in enhancing the quality and impact of research endeavours.
