Abstract
The different dimensions of ICT provide LIS services that are highly valuable for its users. The digitization of
libraries has brought about vast changes in their services. Assimilated information made the library work fast, easy,
affordable, accessible, and effective. Information overload is made as information retrieval through computerization. The
computerizing of libraries enabled their access in remote areas and provided unlimited information to the users. Online
libraries give access to millions of electronic files and different repositories. The ever-growing knowledge needs IT to
improve the library services like giving quick and easy access to various books, archives, and images. Information literacy
plays a vital role for Learners in the world of ICT by resolving problems, enhancing thinking ability, and contributing to
effective communication skills. Thus digital libraries are becoming norms as they combine both technology and
information resources to be accessed in any place without any physical barriers. This article focuses on the different
library operations and their impact on libraries, library services, and their users’ experiences.
