Libraries, once the quiet sanctuaries of printed texts, are undergoing a profound transformation as they adapt to the demands of the digital era. The transmogrification of libraries into digital knowledge hubs represents a shift that is both technological and cultural. This paper presents an analysis of the prospects for the transmogrification of knowledge within libraries, focusing on how they are morphing to adapt to the digital dynamics of the future. The discussion explores the integration of digital technologies, the growing role of artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing, and data-driven analytics in reshaping library functions. Additionally, the paper highlights emerging trends in digital access, preservation, and user engagement. By analyzing the evolving landscape of library services and examining how libraries are responding to the digital age’s challenges, the paper offers insights into the potential future trajectory of libraries as central players in the global knowledge economy. In a rapidly evolving digital environment, Library and Information Systems professionals need to have strong skills that will enable them to effectively present information and apply their personal, intellectual, and interdisciplinary expertise. For developing countries like Senegal and India, this presents a great opportunity to provide higher education to remote areas through the proliferation of Internet libraries. In this regard, many online tutoring sites have been launched in our country due to the recent leadership of the government and private institutions. This article examines the differences between e-learning and emergent learning. It also highlights the status of libraries and new opportunities for their participation in the e-learning process.
