produce the skilled man power. In Indian scenario academic libraries are starting to
develop innovative ideas and producing impact on the education systems. In the
modern information society libraries have a new role and there are various types of
library models. In the modern information society, where the use of electronic services
and Web-based information sources constantly increases, libraries are managed in a
more democratic way, have more flexible communication system and work organization,
and their service development is based on the quality and user-orientation of services.
To be successful, the libraries should pay more attention to the development trends of
information society that would enable to adjust their development strategies to social
information needs. For that reason it is important to see library as a part of social
model of the society and its role in social development plans and strategies and in
legislation. The future Estonian research and development activities will be focused on
creating knowledge-based information society, where scientific research, scholarly
information and implementation of human knowledge and skills will be the primary
source of economic development and raising the quality of life. An effective system of
the development of education and science in Estonia will create precondition for
generating and applying new knowledge and will ensure the raise of overall awareness
in the interests of socio-economical and cultural development of the country.
