Application of ICT in Libraries
Computers are used in libraries all over the world to provide access to a range of electronic information resources and to manage materials (books, journals, videos, and other media) held in particular collections.
Now, the Libraries not only offers access to printed materials via their reading rooms but also makes available a wide range of electronic information resources. Many libraries digitize material in their collections so that anyone in the world who has access to the Internet can explore the wealth of these collections.
Examples of material that could be digitized in a school or college library include
- past examination papers
- previous works of pupils
- relevant photographs
- college yearbooks
- highly used printed materials.
