It enables learners to master the content and extend their investigations, to become more self-directed and assume greater control over their own learning. With the advances in Information and Communication technologies, the traditional concepts of organization, user orientation, bibliographic description and dissemination of information are to be fine-tuned to the new environment by the Public Library and the librarian.
