FUTURE OF ACADEMIC LIBRARIES: THE NEED OF RESURGENCE AND TRANSFORMATION IN THIS PERVASIVE DIGITAL ENVIRONMENT

Libraries need to be more active and available online so that the community is aware of the resources that
are available to them. Platforms for social media can be used to achieve this easily. Online social
interaction is essential, as is reminding everyone of the core values that a library upholds. There would be
more potential and return visitors as well as stronger ties with their local communities as a result. Several
librarians emphasized the value of having access to e-books, tablets, and e-readers in a manner similar to
this. In the upcoming years, the function of libraries will dramatically change due to demographic shifts, a
rise in urban migration, and technological advancements. Under the burden of scarce resources, libraries
will serve more physically dense and culturally varied communities in the future.
