Abstract This paper describes the challenging role of librarians in the development of organizations in information age.

The paper discusses the requirement of minimum facilities in libraries for the maximum utilization of library resources and to satisfy the maximum demands of the clientele. Highlights the problems faced by libraries these days. Finally discusses the qualities of the librarians that are essential for the survival.
