The paper studies the impact of ICT on job satisfaction of the technical staff of seven state funded general university libraries of West Bengal. Respondents were asked to tick against 25 Job satisfaction related statements listed in the questionnaire. Five point Likert scale is used with weightage and mean values are determined for comparison of different parameters of job satisfaction and techno-stress as well.

Survey method is adopted and questionnaire is distributed among DRDO Technical Information Centres. However interviews and personal visit was made for collection and analysis of relevant data from the Technical Officers of DRDO Technical Information Centres. The result of the survey shows that among ten technical information centres, one technical information centre about to be computerized. The surveyed libraries have good ICT Tools, Infrastructure facilities. Only one library not fully automated and the government should increase the present level of funding to DRDO Technical Information Centres for sustainable adoption of ICT by TIC's.
