Online published on 16 December, 2014. Abstract Libraries need to change quite dramatically to modernise almost every aspect of their operations, information resources and services in order to meet the rising users’ expectations. As the world advances, the library must also evolve and redesign their activities in order to deliver highly quality, need based, and value added services according to the expectations of today's library users. The article describes how PG college librarians face the challenges of change and what their role is and responsibilities to adopt this change and do all the needful for meeting their library users’ expectations.
