Abstract	Abstract CONTEXT The library landscape in India is undergoing a revolution driven by rapid technological advancement. Traditional library operations are being transformed as Library and Information Science (LIS) professionals increasingly adopt new technologies to modernize their services and management. OBJECTIVES This paper aims to explore the specific emerging technology services (e.g., digital libraries, cloud computing, AI, big data analytics, mobile apps) being adopted by LIS professionals in India. It further seeks to examine the resulting transformation of traditional functions, the associated challenges and opportunities for integration, and the pivotal role of LIS professionals in this transition. METHODS Not explicitly detailed in the provided text. (Typically, such a study would employ a review of literature,case studies, surveys, or interviews with LIS professionals across Indian libraries). RESULTS The adoption of technologies has significantly transformed core library functions like cataloguing, resource sharing, and information retrieval. The study identifies key opportunities, including increased operational efficiency and enhanced user satisfaction. However, major challenges exist for sustainable integration, centering on the need for professional skill development, adequate infrastructure, and bridging the digital divide. The role of the LIS professional is critical in ensuring these technologies align with user needs while upholding principles of accessibility, privacy, and security. CONCLUSION While the integration of emerging technologies offers substantial advantages for Indian libraries, addressing persistent challenges related to skills, infrastructure, and equity is essential for sustainable and effective implementation. LIS professionals are central to navigating this technological shift responsibly.
