Abstract

This article provides a data-driven analysis of digitisation and modernisation in academic libraries of Madhya Pradesh. Libraries use digitisation as a method to manage all of their work and to protect resources by replacing manual processes with computers. This study has data from both government and private universities and colleges. A structured closed ended questionnaire with some open ended questions was distributed based on the cluster random sampling approach in order to gather first hand data. In this study, data has been collected from 60% government and 40% private organisation. which include 56% universities and 44% colleges. Academic libraries of Madhya Pradesh are going to a transformative shift towards digitisation. Although data indicates that the digitisation of Madhya Pradesh academic libraries is either completed or in progress, a large number of libraries still work manually. For which government intervention and awareness among readers are necessary. In the academic libraries, digitisation and adoption of modern technology are also aligning with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 vision. In NEP libraries are envisioned as dynamic, vibrant hubs of learning and knowledge, moving beyond their traditional role as mere book repositories
