Reengineering does not mean the using new computer systems in the existing system (i.e. replacing manual system). Rather, it is the modification of the existing system by the computer based system or a new human based system, and can even replace an existing computer based system with a human based system.
When we discuss about the reengineering of Library and information system in a digital era, the application and utilization of computer comes automatically, because the computer is the basic element of the digital environment. With the computer technology, now the library professionals do their work digitally and the users are also searching their information digitally. The library documents are now available digitally both in online as well as offline forms, which make it easier both for the library staffs and users working their job digitally. For shifting from the traditional ‘printed books environment’ to the ‘digital environment’ the library system should be reengineered. re-engineering does not imply replacing the existing system completely, but to include new methods and technologies to the existing system to revamp it. And for this purpose, we have to first study the existing system and find out its feedbacks. After that, we can suggest the necessary changes that can improve the existing system. It is not that the process is over here. The system after the changes has to be tested and to find out whether it is working efficiently or not.
