Abstract

The current research focuses on the analysis of the recent technological trends being used in the selected public sector university libraries. A total of ten public sector university libraries have been selected for this study based on their adoption of advanced technologies in these libraries. Questionnaires are the main source of data collection techniques. The collected data has been analyzed through Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS), 20th edition. The research findings indicate that libraries have embraced modern trends, at different levels. Furthermore, some libraries suffer from a shortage of professional and technically proficient staff, to enhance and provide improved library services and resources to their patrons, it is imperative to prioritize recommended actions.
