Abstract:
Digital technologies which have revolutionized the society, educational environment and
libraries have greatly impacted on librarians and librarians. Paradigm shift in libraries
has given opportunities to librarians to play key roles in the new digital environment as
information experts, educators, instructional designers, instructional partner,
practitioners, researchers, research partners and innovators. The role of librarians can be
transformed through new competencies, research and innovation, collaborative
partnership or networking, continuing professional development and
internationalization.
