As Information Technology has convergedwith Communication Technology (ICT), themedium of information delivery has beengreatly affected. Bibliography in libraries isslowly but surely, transforming from physicalto electronic. Librarians now have to dependon ICT to acquire, hold, index and disseminateelectronic resources. This presentation looksat the tools required to manage both physicaland electronic resources under thisdispensation.

Many Librarians have expressed the view thatLibrary management systems would, for theforeseeable future, need to span both printand electronic materials and that the centralissue was to provide a coherent view of ahybrid collection of bibliographic types. In thissense, an emphasis on content solely in printformat is too limiting.

Advances in technology have changed the wayeven books are published. The concept,organization, functioning and management oflibrary have also changed. The very nature ofresources now in the custody of librariesrequire innovative and new ways of storage,management and dissemination. The newtypes of resources that now presentthemselves in virtual formats have changedthe way the library function as it now has tomanage physical and electronic resources.

The requirement of a library systemtherefore, depends on the bibliographic typesin its collection. However, one mustremember that your patrons may havedemands of their own and so must anticipatetheir needs and plan for them.
