 Dear Mr. Sunil K. Upneja,

IT is impacting at a very faster rate over Library Profession.  In past, the architects were used to design a library building with a view to accommodate more books and other print/physical documents to cope up current and future needs.  In current scenario Library needs more computers nodes and bays to accommodate researchers using their personal laptops for accessing information through online databases.  Due to introduction of digital format, the requirement and design of shelves have been reduced.  A computer centre having a number of computers is installed for accessing digital information stored in CD/DVD or through online IP Based Databases.
