TRANSFORMING LIBRARIES INTO KNOWLEDGE HUBS: THE IMPACT OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TECHNOLOGY
Abstract
Library Manuals are becoming outdated as emerging information technology applications, particularly artificial intelligence (AI), are revolutionizing librarians' performance. AI, integrated into library systems, can automatically recommend literature based on keywords and user ratings. This paper explores the development of AI systems that resemble human intelligence and can potentially replace librarians in carrying out library operations. By utilizing AI, librarians can optimize their services without compromising their role as information managers. The introduction of AI recommendation systems addresses the challenge faced by potential readers who struggle with the abundance of literature choices. This system provides personalized literacy recommendations based on predefined categories, eliminating the need for manual bookshelf searches.
The rapid growth of information and communication technology has a profound impact on various human activities, necessitating librarians to adapt and balance services with users' needs. Information technology plays a vital role in library management and significantly influences people's lives. Collaborative and effective communication between librarians and information technology enables the automation of library processes, supporting effective and efficient use of libraries. Software and hardware applications are key components of information technology in libraries.
Artificial intelligence serves as a strategic tool for library managers to promote services and facilitate book searches for users. Librarians can focus on providing customized services while AI becomes a virtual partner in delivering one-stop service to library users. This collaboration impresses users by showcasing the expertise of librarians in understanding and addressing user needs. Integrating AI in libraries requires substantial knowledge, insight, and investment. However, successful implementation can transform libraries into engaging centers of knowledge and insight, expanding their presence to the online realm of cyberspace.
