The COVID-19 pandemic has presented unique challenges in the educational sector and has forced students, policy makers and service providers including the librarians to adopt technology as a valuable option to ensure fulfilment of the educational needs of the stakeholders. The present study is an effort to understand the impact of COVID-19 on libraries, preventive measures adopted, special services offered, and to know the mode of information dissemination to users. A well-structured questionnaire was prepared comprising collective questions. Question covering the impact of covid-19 pandemic on the university libraries and the extent of usage of physical and digital resources and distributed among the librarians of the respective university libraries and the response were tabulated carefully on the Microsoft excel sheet. The results were analyzed, organised and properly plotted the graph for each parameter for easier understanding.
