- Abstract
In the age of digital information and technological development, there is an exponential and increasing growth of digital products and other sources of information that require a new approach to organization and structuring to help users navigate intuitively in complex information environments. Therefore, we find that the roles of the information specialist and even the nomenclature began to change with the emergence of this development in technologies. This research sheds light on the concept of information architecture or what is called information engineering, and clarifies some concepts about the tasks and roles of information engineers and librarians, and the existing problems facing librarians who play the role of information engineers and offers some proposed solutions, and the research recommends the need to change the role of librarians and their qualifications to become information engineers in the current era of digital information environment.
