Increasing use of technology as a means of accessing information and the
recent shift towards cooperative learning and group study have brought
changes in the way patrons use libraries and library resources. This article
is based on the part of a survey that investigated the ICT knowledge and
skills of librarians at the Chandigarh City. A study population of 21 librarians
of Chandigarh city were surveyed by a questionnaire to establish in what
ways librarians were using ICTs, what were the level of ICT knowledge and
skills amongst the librarians, what problems the librarians faced in the
use of ICTs and what their ICT training needs were. Interpretation of the
results revealed a low level of ICT knowledge and skill amongst librarians
and a general lack of formal training for ICTs amongst the academic
librarians. |
