Digital transformation has significantly reshaped the functioning and service delivery of academic libraries, particularly in management and engineering colleges. The integration of digital technologies such as automated library management systems, electronic resources, institutional repositories, and online user services has transformed traditional library practices into dynamic, user-centered information environments. This paper examines the impact of digital transformation on management and engineering college libraries with a focus on access to information, service efficiency, user satisfaction, and the evolving role of library professionals. The study adopts a descriptive research approach, using data collected through questionnaires, interviews, and observation of library operations. Findings reveal that digital transformation has enhanced information accessibility, improved resource utilization, and supported teaching, learning, and research activities. However, challenges such as inadequate infrastructure, budget constraints, digital skill gaps, and resistance to change remain significant. The paper concludes that strategic planning, continuous professional development, and institutional support are essential to maximize the benefits of digital transformation in academic libraries.
