Introduction :-
            ICT is an Net term that includes any communication device or application,encompassing:radio,television,cellular phones,computer and network,hardware and software,satellite system as well as the various services and applications associated with them,such as videoconferencing and distance learning. The ICT Center of an academic library is aimed to empower the teaching-learning ,research,consultancy and support operations.  The strategic objectives of the ICT Center is to provide secure,reliable,efficient network-based services and ensure that all university community has access to ICT resources.  The ICT service delivery process is desired to provide speedy,dffective,demandbased and quality ICT support to users,namely,researchers,instructor,consultants,support staff,managers,data administrators,member of college, ICT Helpdesk Teams,student representatives,guests and local community.
            ICT has been one of the major factor causing changes in the field of Library and Information Science which people or user can communicate, retrieve and disseminate and used information.  Libraries and information centers have been using ICT based resources and services to satisfy the diverse information needs of their users.  However, these resources and services are not utilized fully.  Under utilizations of these resources and services has been a cause of concern to libraries worldwide.  The use of information and communication technologies has become increasingly important in libraries.  The libraries are switching over to ICT based resources and services at an accelerated pace.  E-Journals,CD-Rom,databases,online databases,e-book,webbased resources and a variety of other electronic resources are fist replacing the traditional resources of libraries.
What is ICT?
            The term ICT describes the use of computer based technology and the internet to make information and communications services available to wide a range of users.  The term is used broadly to address a range of technologies, including telephones and emerging technology devices.  Central to these is the internet, which provides the mechanism for transporting data in a number of formats including text,images,sound and video.

INFORMATION :-
            Now, we discuss on the short term of information which include the broad term of ICT.  Many scientist have been expain the concept of information with simply,data-process-informatin.  Where the information consisting the data and have been retrieved,processed or used for informative purpose,argument,dicision making etc.  Now another way of Shera, information is that it is transmitted by the act or process of communication,it assumes a response in the receiving organism and therefore,possess response potential.  Its motiviation is inherently utilitarian.  It is instrumental and it usually is communicated in an organized or formalized pattern,mainly because such formalization increases potential utility.

CONCEPT OF COMMUNICATION :-
            Communication means above varied phenomena are represented by one particular word-communication.  This makes us assume that al of them have something in common by virtue of which they are represented by the same word.  The connecting thread appears to be the idea of something being transferred  from one thing or person, to another.’in a broad way of the term can be specify as information communication in a broad sense of the term includes not merely transference of information in the conventional sense,but also,the expression of feelings,wishes,commands,desires or whatever it may be.  It covers both,the use of natural language as well as voluntary or involuntary or involuntary feelings,emotions,gestures,etc.  Thus,one can communicate one’s unhappiness by telling that,he is unhappy  or by sighing or groaning or simple by looking sad.  One acquires the same information in either case.
TECHNOLOGY :-
            The  noble scientist Murthy say about the technology is  operative for many environmental field of science technology such as library management, library automation,library network,reprography and technical communication.  The term of information technololgy is widely used for the same in France and Informatics is widely used in Russsia and other socialist countries.
