Library information technology is one of the major tool of today to shape our society and our institutions particularly our libraries. Our education and cultural infrastructure must change to meet the challenges, addressing them through new and creative educational techniques. It has been evident for over half a century that libraries can no longer comprehensively collect in a wide variety of subject areas. Thus, a long history of cooperative networking and interlibrary lending has been die mainstay of satisfying ever widening and interdisciplinary subject material demands of research, scholarly and student users.
