- W2148255118 abstract "IntroductionMankind has been handling information since thousands of years; early technologies that helped him in this regard included abacus and printing. The last three decades or so have seen an amazingly rapid development of such technology, spearheaded by computer; more recently, cheap microelectronics have permitted diffusion of this technology into almost all aspects of daily life and an almost inextricable cross-fertilizing and intermingling of its various branches. The term information technology was coined, probably in late 1970s, to refer to this nexus of modern technology, electronic based, for handling information. ...Its applications are industrial, commercial, administrative, educational, medical, professional, and domestic (Illingworth, 1983).UNESO has defined information technology as scientific, technological and engineering disciplines and management techniques used in information handling and processing: their application, computers and their interaction with men and machines and associated social, economic, and cultural matter. ALA Glossary of Library and Information Science (1983) defined information technology as the application of computers and other technologies to acquisition, organization, storage, retrieval, and dissemination of information.Earl (1989) defines IT infrastructure as technological foundation of computer, communications, data and basic systems. He views IT infrastructure as technology framework that guides organization in satisfying business and management needs. IT infrastructure is a foremost business resource and a prospective source to attain sustainable competitive advantage (Keen, 1991). The use of information technology in academic libraries is very much needed to provide efficient and accurate services, to control rapid growth of information, to facilitate cooperation, and to manage increased workload. IT has opened new avenues for storage and retrieval of information and its use in academic libraries has been increasing gradually (Veeranjaneyulu, 2004).Study ObjectiveThe objective of this study is to investigate status of hardware, software, networking and IT support available in university libraries of Pakistan.Study DesignThe Central Libraries of Pakistani Universities situated in four provinces and Federal Capital were included in study. Among 91 universities, nine had presently no provision of Central Library. Therefore 82 out of 91 university libraries comprised population for this study. A semi structured questionnaire both in printed and soft copies were sent to chief librarians/head librarians. The valid response rate was 63.41% (52 out of 82). SPSS16 was used to analyse data. The descriptive statistics including frequency distribution, percentage, mean, median, mode, minima, maxima, standard deviation etc. were employed to analyze data. Figures were also included to express data.Literature ReviewIn this review, literature on three aspects ( i.e. hardware, software, and networking) is included to understand problem.HardwareOrtiz-Zapata & Quintana (1991) studied seventeen public and private academic libraries of Puerto Rica. The paper found that 76 percent libraries had one or more computers. In East Africa, all government-owned university libraries had computers. Moi University Library had 51 (66.2%), Dar Es Salaam 16 (20.8%), Sokoine 8 (10.4%), Egerton and Mbarara one (1.3%) computer to provide services (Mulimila, 2000).A comparative study of strategic management of IT applications in some selected university libraries of Ghana and United Kingdom found that status of IT applications was very low in all university libraries in Ghana with slightly varying degrees in individual institutions. In United Kingdom, a very significant level of IT applications was found in university libraries (Badu, 2004). …" @default.
