Abstract: In today’s technological environment change has become very imperative considering the sea change in library models and advent of information technology. These days’ libraries are doing their best to deal with these changes to serve the latest need of the library patron. This paper discusses the tools and challenges of change management in the libraries to facilitate their expansion, resources management and service performance. Information services have always been under constant pressure to prove the value of their staff, services and existence to management. The key to success lies in the ability to predict, manage, and exploit change in all areas of work, with change management emerging as a key extended skill which must be added to any information professional’s repertoire. Despite the tendency for information technology, finance and marketing departments to dominate boardroom thinking, the library and information sector still has the opportunity to take control of organizational information strategies, coordinate and drive the technologies and promote library use and benefits. The paper provides useful comprehensive tools to change the traditional libraries. The W4 tool will allow library professionals to determine informally the degree to which their organizational culture is either transformational or transactional in nature.

Abstract: Few Library automation software packages are available in the market. But the cost of the software package, bar code reader, bar code labels and in all the total cost is not affordable to most of the public libraries particularly from rural areas. Most of these software packages allow the data entry of the bibliographic details of the document in English only and allow to take output reports in English language only. Few packages allow the data entry in Devnagari script, but these modules are costly and needs to be purchased separately. The authors, therefore, tried to develop a model library automation multilingual package, which will be helpful to save on costs incurred, allow to enter details in local language, and source code will be made available to make modifications (if required) in it.

Abstract: Library 2.0 is a loosely defined model for a modernized form of library service that reflects a transitionwithin the library world in the way that services are delivered to users. The focus is on user-centered change and participation in the creation of content and community. The concept of Library 2.0 borrows from that of Business 2.0 and Web 2.0 and follows some of the same underlying philosophies. This includes online services such as the use of OPAC systems and an increased flow of information from the user back to the libraryWith Library 2.0, library services are constantly updated and reevaluated to best serve library users. Library 2.0 also attempts to harness the library user in the design and implementation of library services by encouraging feedback and participation. Proponents of this concept expect that ultimately the Library 2.0 model for service will replace traditional, one-directional service offerings that have characterized libraries for centuries.Present paper highlights the chaning role of library 2.0 in present digital environment.
