Dear Sir, As we all know, this is era of ICT based, most of the libraries are trying to switch to implement the ICT based products and services in , in current situation. But, in case of India, still there are so many libraries, which did,t have the automation S/W. as well as the the computer because of budget. To cope with ICT products and services is not a easy deal. These can be hindrance:
LIS professionals must have basic knowledge to use computer, but a number of LIS professional did not yet have.
Sufficient budget.
User awareness also, etc.
At last but not least, I will say in case of India still there so many libraries, which are still using traditional methods. further to use the ICT based products and services in LIS, must have the knowledge of traditional methods. therefore, there is so much scope of traditional Library system in INDIA.

dear sir,
in this era, we can't neglect the importance of traditional library. ICT is applicable for providing services , to aware the users about its activities etc etc. quickly. most of the famous institutes such as IITs is banning to their students for surfing net because students are not fully concentrating to their studies in the context of reading text materials. So the importance of traditional library will be existed after 50 yrs and ever.
