Abstract:
In centuries gone by, librarians were seen as keepers and custodians of books. This perception also affected the image of the library, this was because many people saw the library as a room with stacks of books where individuals particularly students who wanted to read beyond the scope of what they were taught in class found shelter. No wonder, the field was regarded as library science and not library and Information science or library and Information technology as we have it recently.
