While digital transformation in education is accelerating, academic libraries will reorganize their roles to support further information needs in an interactive e-learning environment. In this article, we will explore how libraries can manage and adapt information services for future users using information and communication technology (ICT) integration. The focus is on the development of response-user-centric services that meet the requirements of digital learners in both formal and informal educational attitudes. This study explores the application of ICT tools, including AI-controlled search engines, virtual reference services, learning analytics, immersive technologies to promote access to information, promoting digital literacy, and supporting collaborative learning. Additionally, strategies for embedding library resources into learning management systems and e-learning platforms are being considered to provide seamless academic support. The results highlight the importance of adaptability, employee training, and political development to ensure that they remain a key partner in the education ecosystem. Ultimately, this study illuminates the potential for transformation of ICT-enabled library services in maintaining dynamic, integrated, and future learning environments.
