Information is known as the fifth need of man ranking after air, water, food and shelter. Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) are altering the functioning and services of Libraries. ICT-Based Libraries can reach out globally to provide services 24-hours a day in a very cost effective manner. ICT has enabled users to benefit from many services without any human intrusion. The role of a Librarian is changing from an intermediary to a facilitator. More than ever, the libraries of Pakistan are utilizing Information and Communication Technologies to serve target clients. A greater demand for Library materials, an enormous increase in the amount of literature being published, new electronic formats and sources are some of the prominent causes for the growing need of ICT in Pakistani libraries. Libraries of Pakistan have not made yet up to mark progress as made by other prestigious libraries of the world. Library supporters and the government must assist in developing ICT-based libraries to meet market needs. Implementation of ICT based resources and services in traditional libraries is a difficult choice but only those who are willing to climb may achieve the height.
