Abstract

In the new technological era, libraries and librarians have to play new roles. These new roles also demand new competencies. This study will analyze the impact of mechanical advancements on scholarly libraries in the capital city of Pakistan and the changing roles of the librarians working there. Moreover, the challenges faced by these librarians will also be addressed. The quantitative method was adopted and private and public sector universities of Islamabad were taken to conduct this study. Data were collected through Google Survey forms and a total of 75 responses were received. Data analysis was done using SPSS Version 2022. The findings of the study may help in filling the gap that has existed in the library due to the utilization of technology, improve support for academic communities, and contribute meaningfully to the advancement of knowledge and learning in the digital age.
