The majority of library services are now online for users. The present study attempted to investigate the ICT skills and competencies of LIS professionals working in the D.Y. Patil institute libraries. A total of 25 LIS professionals were chosen for the present study, and their skills and competencies were assessed through the data collected from the questionnaire. The study examined the skills and competencies of LIS professionals based on information searching skills, the purpose of using the internet, the frequency of using the internet, the use of various ICT devices, library software, ICT applications, challenges in acquiring ICT skills, and the required area of training. The researcher found that LIS professionals working in the D.Y. Patil Institute libraries are skilled in searching and handling ICT applications and devices. Also, 80 percent of LIS professionals are proficient in using library software and its modules, and more than 80 percent of LIS professionals are aware of Web 2.0 tools. Cloud computing and web design are the areas where LIS professionals need to improve their skills through training and continuing education programs. In this study, we will examine how much the library staff knows ICTS, how much they know about digital facilities, and what they are doing to update their knowledge.

Presently the resource allocation to the college libraries is not commensurate with the increasing requirements of its users. This study focuses on the availability and inadequacies of library facilities and services in relation with the information requirements of the users in semi urban areas. For present study, 4 colleges from Islampur city, which is speedily urbanizing, have been chosen. For this study the survey method is used and the technique used is sampling technique. The sample envelopes 100% of teachers and 5% of students from total population and is significant sample size. The research tool used is questionnaire. It is found that the professor and student user in semi urban areas still follow the traditional way to get information and rely mostly on print media and prefer regional languages. Library staff is cooperative and willing to help the users. Considering this in modern age of information, we should approach towards maximizing the computerization and approach towards e-library concept. It requires that for this, library users and library staff should be educated in this area regarding information categorization, information dissemination and information search. They also need to be provided training frequently.

Users of libraries have a pressing need to have all of the necessary information about the library in a short amount of time. Handling traditional printed broaches containing library information is timeconsuming and difficult. Nowadays, the majority of library users use smartphones that can do a variety of things. As a result, the library can make use of this technology to create mobile applications that contain information about the library and upload them to their website for free download by mobile users. Users may gain from this by being able to quickly and easily access the necessary information at any time and from any location.

One of the primary devices that can be utilized to evaluate library administrations is client studies. The idea of 'Library Patrons', is going to the shape of library clients or customers. To figure out those clients' requirements and assumptions, the library necessitates an estimation of the fulfillment level. To make sure that estimation library needs to lead a client overview with their assumption for prerequisite and in view of administration given by the library. This study attempted to survey library client fulfillment with current data administrations and assets while recognizing client needs. A poll-based overview was utilized for information assortment. The surveys were circulated among 200 users who visited the library of DYPCET.

It is pressing demand of library users to have all the required information about library in minimum time. Traditional printed broachers containing library information are difficult to handle and consume more time. Nowadays most of the library users use smart mobiles which can be used for many applications. Therefore, taking advantage of this technology, library application or QR codes containing the information about the library can be designed and uploaded by the library on their website for free download by users using mobile. This can benefit the users to access the required information anytime and anywhere conveniently in minimum time.

Nowadays a lot of is talked about cloud computing and it is being employed in many new work areas. It is also being utilized in some Libraries but the emphasis of the current paper is not on cloud computing but on cloud printing which is rarely exploited area of the cloud computing concept.
