Abstract Information communication technology use-based information retrieval system promises an exciting tool, to the library by providing an environmentally friendly system supporting different media, like audio, and video graphics, and including animation on the same platform for efficient information handling. It is a challenge for information professionals in the 21st century. The ICT workstation can be made to present various databases, to the viewer elegantly by incorporating an ICT-information retrieval system. This IR system can have various modules such as a slide editor, slide integrator, audio studio, video studio, presentation player, and installation modules. Information retrieval can be defined as the process of searching, managing, retrieving, and presenting information, and storing the information. A good IR system involves understanding information needs and interests and developing an effective search technique, system, presentation, distribution, and delivery. The increased use of ICT is possible through the use of WWW, the internet, web technologies, and networked technologies. This change has brought challenges to a wider variety of users’ needs, tasks, and types of information. This paper attempts to discuss the concept, challenges, and modern approach in the light of information communication technology and develop an IR system based on ICT technology in the library: a description of the development of digital libraries. The paper also discusses the role of the library, database features, and various modules needed in an information retrieval system.
