Abstract

This paper is a recent ontological view of the concept of library computerization at a global perspective. The paper not only saliently x-rayed the processes involved with library computerization but also provided insight to the advantageous effect the novel trend has in eradicating illiteracy and promoting educational development through efficient library use especially among the developing countries of the world. Novel capabilities of library computerization such as increasing the moral/prestige of librarians, job creation/division of labor etc., vis-à-vis hindrances to actual library computerization were treated by the paper. However, that it is a global time bomb is factual as the paper portrayed the fact that it has universally breached the gap of educational development as obtained in the world between the most developed technological states and others.
