The teaching library is not a new concept in this age of information exploration; rather, it emerged in the 1960s with new prospects and challenges. Traditionally, librarians have played the role of instructing users on how to access information. However, time has changed the scenario and perspectives of librarianship and librarians must have to accept the emerging roles to teach or facilitate users to develop lifelong independent learning habits. This paper concentrates on providing an overview of the teaching library and the emerging roles and responsibilities of the teaching librarian in the 21st century. This paper also includes planning and guidelines to assist librarians, academics, and other stakeholders in carrying out a successful library teaching activation in university libraries.
