Dear Shukhdev You have taken a very interesting issue regarding Impact of Technologies on libraries. Sh. P.N. Kaula Sahab have realised the impact and mentioned in his article published & avalable in "Selections from University News-5" " Information Technology in Higher Education" 2000:p20-31, AIU, New Delhi. Definitely application of technologies has changed the whole phenomenon of the LIS field; it will reduce the quantity of traditional libraries & librarians; Librarian have not only to be the technology savvy but more competitive with computer professionals; it is the principle of the nature that only fittest will be survived.. and for that we being the LIS professionals have a challenging task on which we have to prove our self. regards On 2/28/08, Sukhdev Singh <esukhdev@gmail.com> wrote:
