However, the ability of University libraries to maintain the development of information literate students depends on the involvement and support of administrators. Collaboration is required between academic library professionals and Faculty members who should take up the responsibility to prepare the infrastructure necessary for the integration of information literacy to the university curricula and organization of various activities to promote knowledge and understanding of it among educators and students. Thus this paper highlights the role of university library professionals in utilizing various mechanisms involved in Information literacy.
