CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1 THE STUDY’S BACKGROUND

The transition from teacher to learner has been significant. It does not imply that the role of the teacher is obsolete, but rather that there is a shift; that the act of learning must be much more proactive, and that access to learning resources is even more important than it was previously

“A library is a collection of books in the traditional sense of the word, and though it derives from the Latin word “lire” meaning book, it can be referred to as an individual or private collection, but more commonly it is a large collection of information resources and a group of services that is funded and maintained by a city or institution.”

In some ways, it is more than just a collection; it is an organized collection intended for use, accompanied by a set of services for users. The collection and services are frequently used by people who do not want to – or cannot afford to – purchase a large collection of materials for themselves.” R. Calvin (1999).

With the collection or invention of media other than books for storing information, many libraries are now also repositories and points for maps, prints, or other art works, microfilms, microfiche, audio tapes, CDs, LPS, video tapes, DVDs, and provide public access to CD-Rom and subscription data base and the internet.

As a result, modern libraries are increasingly being redefined as places where people can get unrestricted access to information in a variety of formats and from a variety of sources.

Libraries, in addition to providing material, also provide the services of specialists who are experts in matters related to finding and organizing information, as well as interpreting information needs. It is critical for the library service to be able to meet the demands of a sophisticated and literate audience capable of using a variety of information and communication media. Academic libraries, for example, obtain, collect, and store literature for educational and research purposes, and are usually open to the general public.

Public libraries facilitate communication by offering a diverse selection of general literature and other information media, with the majority of them displayed on open shelves. There are also online information searches on databases stored on CDROMs, as well as photocopying, reading, and printing from microfilms.

‘ The role of public libraries has shifted in recent years, owing to the acceptance of new communication media, as well as the recognition of new social objectives and disparities, which indicate reaching out to those who do not currently use library services.
