Abstract
In Kerala, libraries are shifting towards automation and IT applications. This is more prominent in the case of college libraries. Generally, college libraries are positive towards automation and the application of IT in library operations and services. Application of IT helps to provide more advanced, effective, and efficient services in college libraries. The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) disease presented unique challenges to all the stakeholders of the education system, especially colleges.
