I. INTRODUCTION
The library world is currently growing along with the development of information technology as a means of supporting library development. The use of information technology in the library aims to provide easy access and improve work efficiency and service quality for users. Libraries as information centers are increasingly demanded to provide better and more effective information services, as suggested by Sinaga (2011: 6) Empowerment of libraries in the new paradigm must be adjusted and improved in line with changes in visitor demands, namely wider access to information, quick and precise. In addition, this paradigm shift requires changes in librarians in providing excellent service to users. This is in line with Vijayakumar (2011: 150): libraries are operating in a rapidly changing situation, they should be aware of the latest technologies to continue and maintain the importance of the service offerings. libraries operate in a rapidly changing situation; they must be aware of the latest technology to continue and maintain the importance of service offerings.
