Information and Communication Technology in Libraries

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in libraries refers to the use of digital tools and systems, such as computers, the internet, and software, to enhance the way libraries acquire, store, manage, and share information. ICT enables patrons to access resources more quickly, facilitates online catalog searches, e-books, digital archives, and remote services. It also streamlines library operations, making processes more efficient for staff and users. Overall, ICT transforms traditional libraries into dynamic, accessible information hubs that support learning, research, and community engagement in a digital age.
