Providing access to information resources plays a crucial role in carrying out research, taking the outcomes of the R&D into tangible products and more importantly imparting education. With getting connected in the digital space becoming the new norm, the transition of users seeking information to information becoming available to the users, has happened. More importantly the emergence and dominance of newer non-library information sources. Open science and open access to information resources have been in discussion for some time. Taking cognition of the change in the way information is becoming available, libraries and librarians are making the transition. Traditional Librarians to Information Officers to Knowledge Managers. The talk summarized some of the developments and the need for re-skilling of the information science professionals to adapt to the change and the opportunities it offers.
