Academic libraries are critically situated in an environment of global change and transformation. Globalization phenomenon could be understood from particularism and universalism concepts. The universalism concept deals with the processes that make economies, goods, services and institutions universally available across geographical and political boundaries. Particularism on the other hand focuses on goods, services, economies and institutions in their localized configuration. In practical and functional terms globalization deals with the interplay of particularism and universalism. In other words, when for instance, institutionally generated, acquired or domesticated information is uploaded on the Internet, it migrates into the universal domain. And when universally available and accessible information sources, resources and services are downloaded and domesticated, they become locally available and accessible in such libraries and information centres.
