PERSPECTIVES OF PROTOTYPE LIBRARY SYSTEM: ISSUES AND CHALLENGES IN FUTURE LIBRARIANSHIP

Libraries ever since the first light of civilization have proved to be a realistic value in promoting teaching, education and research. In the doorsill of information and communication technologies, the libraries and information centers have changed their services in manifold dimensions which further precipitated to a drastic change with regards to knowledge acquisition, organization, distribution, knowledge representation etc. Consequent upon the application of information and communication technology not only shaped the traditional libraries in its organization, management and optimization of use of resources but also germinated the concept of digital library which otherwise can be identified as intelligent library. With the diligence of artificial intelligence in the field of library services heuristics knowledge could be identified, elicited, codified, formalized in the knowledge base. This paper discusses about the application of intelligent technologies applied in the digital library for providing multidimensional effective library services and challenges in future librarianship
