Review of Library Services via ICT-Based Resources and Skill Development

Abstract

This review delves into the efficacy of library services enhanced through the integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) resources and skill development initiatives. In an increasingly digital world, libraries are evolving to meet the demands of patrons by leveraging ICT tools and fostering skill enhancement programs. The review examines various aspects, including the adoption of digital catalogs, online databases, and virtual libraries, which expand access to information resources. Furthermore, it investigates how skill development programs, such as digital literacy workshops and online research tutorials, empower users to navigate these resources effectively. Through a comprehensive analysis of existing literature and case studies, the review evaluates the impact of these ICT-based initiatives on improving library services. Additionally, it addresses challenges such as digital divide issues and the need for ongoing staff training to support ICT integration. By critically assessing the intersection of ICT resources and skill development within library services, this review provides insights into best practices and opportunities for future development in this domain.
