1. INTRODUCTION
A literature review is a survey of scholarly sources such as books, journal articles, and theses
related to a specific topic or recent topics. The purpose of selection of this topic for review is
that in today’s era application of Artificial Intelligence in library and information centers
increases. It is necessary to identify an advantages and disadvantages of AI for the better use
of this new technology. Artificial Intelligence has come a long way from its early roots,
driven by dedicated researchers. The expression artificial intelligence was introduced as a

‘digital’ replacement for the analog ‘cybernetics’. Artificial intelligence began as an

experimental field with pioneers like George Boole (1815-1864), Allen Newell and Herbert
Simon, who founded the first artificial intelligence laboratory (Kumar, 2004). Artificial
intelligence (AI) is defined as intelligence exhibited by an artificial entity to solve complex
problems and such a system is generally assumed to be a computer or machine.

2. DEFINITIONS AND CONCEPTS

2.1. Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence (AI) is an integration of computer science and physiology. Intelligence
in simple language is the computational part of the ability to achieve goals in the world.
Intelligence is the ability to think to imagine creating memorizing and understanding,
recognizing patterns, making choices adapting to change and learn from experience. Artificial
intelligence concerned with making computers behave like humans more human like fashion
and in much less time than a human takes so is called as Artificial Intelligence (Poole and
Goebel, 1998).

2.2. Learning
Learning is defined as the acquiring of knowledge or skill, in a particular domain. This
definition is related to human beings. In psychology, various generalized definitions of
learning have been proposed, and many of them interpret learning as the change in behavior
of a being, subject to a given situation, or as a sequence of his or her repeated experiences in
that situation.

2.3. Machine Learning

In simple words learning means either acquiring new knowledge or enhancing or updating
individual’s skills. Learning new knowledge is the combination of various processes such as
acquisition of significant concepts, understanding their meanings and relationships to each
other and to the area concerned. Skill enhancement can be interpreted in biological terms as
reinforcing a pattern of neural connections for performing the desired function (Bavakutty,
2006).
Scientific study of algorithms and statistical models when the computer system used to
perform a specific task is called Machine learning. It is seen as a subset of artificial
intelligence. Machine learning algorithms build a mathematical model based on sample data,
known as training data, in order to make predictions or decisions without being explicitly
programmed to perform the task (Bishop, 2006).

3. COMPUTER ASSISTED INSTRUCTION SYSTEMS

Computer assisted instruction has been in use for many years, bringing the power of the
computer to bear on the educational process. Early CAI programs essentially imitated
previously existing instructional materials. For example, a common CAI technique mirrors a
method called programmed instruction. In a programmed instruction text, students read brief
instructional material and then are presented with short questions to test their comprehension.
Students turn to different pages of the book, depending on their answers to the questions, so
that each student effectively programs a different path through the material based on
individual comprehension abilities. The CAI technique based on programmed instruction is
known as frame-based CAI. The effectiveness of frame based CAI program depends entirely
on how well it is designed. Although many successful programs have been developed, frame
based CAI programs use computers simply as electronic page turners.

An obvious potential application of ES within libraries is for the selection of book sellers
or other vendor of library materials carried to its logical conclusion, a system might be
developed to select a vendor automate ethical based on past performance in the supply of
publications of a particular type such a capability would be especially valuable in the
acquisition of material that are less routine-conference proceeding (Mishra and Srivastva,
2008).

4. INTELLIGENT COMPUTER-ASSISTED INSTRUCTION SYSTEMS

Adding AI techniques to CAI results in an effective, new instructional method called
Intelligent Computer Assisted Instruction. The goal of ICAI is the development of
instructional materials that actually analyze a student's performance in order to develop
individualized tutoring strategies. The main components of an ICAI system are problem
solving expertise, student model, and tutoring module.
The problem solving expertise component of an ICAI program contains the knowledge
that system tries to impart to the student. This expertise is represented with techniques similar
to those used in the knowledge base of an expert system. In fact, this component can be
thought of as a specialized expert system that contains expertise in domain of the ICAI
program. The component of the program that selects the strategies for presenting tutorial
information to students is called the tutoring module. A tutoring module generally
incorporates natural language processing techniques to communicate at the level of each
individual student.

5. AREAS OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

Artificial Intelligence focuses on symbolic, non-algorithmic problem solving methods.
Intelligence relies on ability to manipulate symbols. Artificial Intelligence has transformed the
society beyond imagination. The goal of its sub areas i.e. expert system, natural language
processing, pattern recognition, and robotics is to simulate human intelligence with
computers. Some of the recent computational techniques and areas that are utilized in
developing fields of Artificial Intelligence are mentioned in Table-1.

6. APPLICATION OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN LIBRARIES

Computers provide the perfect medium for the experimentation and application of Artificial
Intelligence technology in the libraries. AI has more success at intellectual tasks such as
computer based game playing and theorem proving than perceptual tasks. Sometimes these
computer programs are intended to stimulate human behavior and they are built for
technological applications also such as Computer aided instruction (CAI). In many cases the
main goal is to find any technique that does the task quick in the better way. The Table-2
gives the details regarding application of AI and its uses in various areas and activities of
libraries.
