Abstract
University library professionals play a key role in maintain and providing the library services. Libraries are major learning medium to enable the education facilitators, researchers and students learning, in providing the necessary information and efficient use of information in digital sources. It is extremely necessary for educators and students, who have to conduct their research and use information sources by searching or retrieving information from the library archives or internet servers, to know and understand information literacy. However, the ability of University libraries to maintain the development of information literate students depends on the involvement and support of administrators. Collaboration is required between academic library professionals and Faculty members who should take up the responsibility to prepare the infrastructure necessary for the integration of information literacy to the university curricula and organization of various activities to promote knowledge and understanding of it among educators and students. Thus this paper highlights the role of university library professionals in utilizing various mechanisms involved in Information literacy.
