Introduction

"Sources" means the origin of something. Information sources may be observations, speeches, documents, pictures etc.

From starting, flow of the information was very slow, because emerged libraries in society were not more than a store house of books, but gradually, especially during the last decade due to ICT the face of library changed and known as Information Resource Centres (IRC). IRC is treated as the nuclei of any organisation, which play a vital role in the development of society or a nation. These nucleis are also known as social institutions, the repositories of information.
