Abstract
Libraries have long been endless sources of information for students for centuries this involved row after row of books. However, the face of libraries is changing as content is moving toward a digital platform and Internet access is becoming more of a human necessity than a privilege. Library users and their expectations for services and collections have changed. Among the factors driving change are networked technologies, powerful search engines available to all, social technologies and the digitization of everything. There are many challenges also to be faced by the library profession also while adapting the rapidly changing environment in which librarians are expected to work differently than before. The information society is moving to information age due to more usage of ICT. To manage with the changes library professionals have to transform themselves and their activities using ICT and trends. The libraries transformed different phases of libraries like: temple libraries (oral communications), manuscript Libraries (primitive libraries), Paper / Print Libraries (Traditional libraries), microform libraries, electronic libraries, digital libraries, virtual libraries, networked libraries and cloud libraries etc. These transformations are basically due to application of technologies prevailing during the period. The article concludes with reflections on future developments and the impact of digital technological utilities. It's clear that the library has been a valuable institution for academic purposes as long as pen has been put to paper.
