Description :
The emergence of digital technologies has had a significant impact on libraries and their operations. Libraries are re-engineering their systems and services to adapt to the changing needs of their patrons. Library reengineering is a process of reviewing and redesigning library systems, services, and processes to increase efficiency, effectiveness, and user satisfaction. Re-engineering involves adapting libraries to changing user needs, technological advancements, and new service models. One of the most significant trends in library re-engineering is the shift from physical to digital collections. Libraries are increasingly investing in digital content and services, such as e-books, streaming media, and online databases. This shift has required libraries to invest in new technology and infrastructure to support these digital collections, such as cloud-based systems and robust network connections. In recent years, libraries have undergone significant changes due to advancements in technology and the changing needs of users. The purpose of this research paper is to provide a comprehensive review of the trends in library re-engineering. This paper explores the various ways libraries are adapting to new technologies, changing user needs, and shifting priorities. The research paper also highlights the benefits and challenges of library re-engineering, as well as the role of librarians in this process. Finally, the paper concludes with recommendations for future research and areas of focus for libraries looking to re-engineering their operations.
