Abstract

The paper discusses the amount of information and the level of application to life that makes some nations developed, while others are developing and some yet still underdeveloped. Information accessibility and usage is the cutting edge amongst these nations. The more informed the citizenry of any nation, the more developed the nation becomes. Librarians, by collecting, organizing, storing and providing access to information, serve as change agents, helping organizations and individuals access and use information in order to develop more successful societies. Libraries are agents of change in all facet of life worldwide. Countries that have established libraries and embraced information have in no time risen above their contemporaries. Libraries are set up to meet the teaching, learning, research and information needs of the parent institution as well as impact the immediate community where the institution is resident through community impact initiative programmes. Thus, libraries can help develop the community by providing access to relevant information through different channels. There are online libraries one can use at anytime of the day or night, with millions of books and periodicals with unlimited browsing and can make access to such available to members of the community
