Abstract	Academic libraries are undergoing rapid transformation due to technological advancements such as digital resources, integrated library systems, and automation tools. This study examines the role of change management in facilitating technological transitions within academic libraries. The research is based on secondary data collected from scholarly articles, journals, books, and online databases. A qualitative and descriptive approach has been adopted to analyze key factors influencing successful change, including leadership, staff readiness, and communication. The findings indicate that effective leadership, continuous staff training, and transparent communication significantly contribute to minimizing resistance and ensuring smooth adoption of new technologies. The study also highlights challenges such as infrastructural limitations, financial constraints, and cultural resistance. By synthesizing existing literature, this paper provides a conceptual understanding of change management practices and offers strategic insights for academic institutions to manage digital transformation effectively.
