(Information Communication Technology) for daily routines
tasks as well as for research and academic activities. The latest
devices for information communication technology have resulted
in the rapid circulation of knowledge and have transformed the
information handling activities in research and academic libraries
in India. Research and academic libraries, mostly associated with
universities and research institutions as centers of library services,
have enormously improved with the expeditious changes in
information communication technology. The emergence of modern

technologies to intensify and integrate their electronic resources

need to update their knowledge and expertise in information
and communication technology (ICT) in order to successfully
undertake their roles of being responsible for validating the library and information centers’ goal as a knowledge support network for
society. All Indian universities need ICT-based LIS curriculum
