Technology has affected the core of the library system. It has become very much evident that conventional library procedures and services are slowly taking backstage, with technology-enabled practices and services attaining prominence. The study analyzed the adoption of technology in bringing out best practices and services in autonomous engineering colleges in Karnataka. It is found that the libraries are good at adopting technical best practices and services. The study recommended libraries to be proactive and continuously update the technologies; grab the opportunities brought by emerging technologies; integrate the technology with best practices; and innovative services to make them more successful.

Abstract


Technology has affected the core of the library system. It has become very much evident that conventional library procedures and services are slowly taking backstage, with technology-enabled practices and services attaining prominence. The study analyzed the adoption of technology in bringing out best practices and services in autonomous engineering colleges in Karnataka. It is found that the libraries are good at adopting technical best practices and services. The study recommended libraries to be proactive and continuously update the technologies; grab the opportunities brought by emerging technologies; integrate the technology with best practices; and innovative services to make them more successful.
