Abstract
Information access is made more difficult by technological advancements. The phenomenal rise of the Internet has ushered in significant changes in all fields of science and technology. Rather than being a tool for seeking and retrieving information, the Internet has become the king of all media, allowing us to access virtual information and build a virtual library to give consumers with quick, high-quality service. This paper aims to describe the role and challenges faced by Library Professionals in the internet age. The study concludes that in this digital age, librarians must shift their roles from arbitrary information scientists/gatekeepers to face the problems of the Internet, the World Wide Web, and online access in the knowledge society. As a result, they must improve their knowledge with special skills in the latest IT developments, such as browsing, accessing, and retrieving a specific piece of information across global networks, systematizing and supervising the information by creating digital libraries, and providing quality e-information services to the knowledge society.
