Past three decades have witnessed unprecedented developments in computer and communication technology. Computers are being used increasingly to automate various activities in libraries with a suitable off-the-shelf general or specific-purpose software package that are now available in a wide range. Tremendous storage and processing potential of computers are being fully realized through existing communication and networking technologies. The two technologies are interdependent, inseparable and share a symbiotic relationship. The computer’s ability to store and process vast amount of information, and communication technology with its ability to transmit this information from one location to another converged to form “information technology” or “informatics” or “Information and Communication Technology”.
