Management experts have also considered the concept of capacity building as the most effective tool in developing an enterprise. Hence the concept holds good in present day development scenario.

In the emerging technological environment the libraries need to develop various systems and services for which the greater need for manpower, infrastructure, finance, ICT applications, collection building, services, resource sharing, digitization, open access initiatives, institutional repositories, electronic publishing, networking, and continuing education activities are to be strengthened.
