The pace of change brought about by new information technologies has a key effect on the way people live, work, and play worldwide. The increasing role played by information technology in the development of library services for an active reaction to the challenges of the information service providing. The paper attempts to discuss the fast development of Information Technology and its application in the library services. Today libraries are equipped to accomplish the newly Information Technology based services. Information Technology enabled services fulfill the information needs of the users at the right time in the right place to the right person. KEY WORDS: Information Technology, Libraries, Electronic Library, Digital Library, e-Library. I. INTRODUCTION: In 1945 Vannevar Bush envisioned a machine called a Memex, a collective memory machine that would make knowledge more accessible. The increasing amount and complexity of information along with the time gap between creation and dissemination requires a new technology. Bush's technology, allows users to create their own "sort of mechanized private file and library". Through the miniaturization of data using photocells or microfilm, larger amount of information could be stored in very little space. Traditionally, information is stored in the index or hierarchical form, but this is not how the brain stores information. The Memex would arrange things associatively; mimicking the way the human brain store and contextualize information. This is a utilization study as it explains how the need of a new way to store, organize and retrieve increasing amounts of data led to the idea of modern day computers. In this study, where information and data continue to expand at an exponential rate, Information Technology began to transform libraries in the 1950s, when microfilm came into existence, in the mid-1960s when Xerox machine was created. IT based databases were developed in the 1970s, which offered more information and better ways to search and obtain data. Whereas, Networks such as OCLC and RLIN made it easier to share resources.With the invention of Information and Technology, libraries now use various types of technologies to aid the services they render. Every day new technological advances affect the way information is handled in libraries and information centers. The impacts of new technologies are felt by libraries in every aspect. Information Technology, communication technology and mass storage technology are some of the areas of continuous development that reshape the way that library access, retrieve, store, manipulate and disseminate information to others. The Central Library, (the center of higher academic learning) has been an integral part of Sanjay Gandhi Postgraduate Institute of Medical Sciences, Lucknow. Here academic Libraries are the libraries, mainly found in tertiary care Hospitals like SGPGIMS which are established to support learning, teaching and research processes. Over the past twenty seven years, academic libraries have been affected by changes in information and technology. The rate of change is still accelerating in this area. The introduction of various information technology (IT) trends have lead to reorganization, changes in working pattern, demand for new skills and job retraining and reclassification position. Technological advancement of the past twenty five years, such as the electronic database, online services, CD-ROMs and introduction of internet has radically transformed access to information. IT holds the key to the success of modernizing information services. Applications of ICT are numerous, but mainly it is used in converting the existing paper-print records in the entire process of storage, retrieval and dissemination. IT has an impact on every sphere of academic library activity, especially in the form of the library collection development strategies, library building and consortia.
