You may use the following broad structure for the report:
3. Aims and Objectives- Every work is undertaken with some aims and
objectives, so is the review of literature. Objectives should be clearly
mentioned in small steps moving from general to particular. State the
objectives as clear and crisp steps that are achievable.
4. Scope and Limitations- Mention the scope of your review in terms
of the contents and other areas like geographical coverage or coverage
of the source literature in terms of time or form.
5. Methodology- Indicate the method of literature collection here. This
would include the sources of literature and the search tools, techniques
and strategies used.
6. Themes and Subthemes- Literature survey has to be presented under
themes and sub- themes. For that you need to have a conceptual clarity
of the topic. You must have read quality background material on the
topic in books or other reference sources that helps you to prepare a
conceptual map of the topic in terms of its themes and sub-themes. Try
to review the literature in terms of these topics and sub-topics. Also try
to organise the review in terms of basic conceptual articles to
theoretical articles and research articles. Present the discussion in third
form and enclose aspects taken as such from the source literature in
double inverted commas.
7. Conclusion and Suggestions- The review should follow with a
conclusion that should highlight the areas that have been covered and
those that have not been studied and need more research.
8. References and Bibliography- References need to be provided in-
text as citations. Follow APA standard
You may prepare a report of about 5,000 words. Please note that your
report will be checked for plagiarism at the time of evaluation. It should
not exceed a limit of 10%.

1. Introduction
2. RFID Implementation
Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) uses electromagnetic fields to
select and track tags attached to library items automatically. The RFID-
based library management system is the newest technology used to
track inventory and strengthen library theft detection systems. This
technology enhances the security of libraries and increases their
efficiency by streamlining the processes and reducing human
dependence. For the users, RFID accelerates the borrowing and return
procedures. Hence, RFID saves time and reduces library costs.
3. Cloud Computing
Libraries across the world are adopting cloud computing to make
library services more streamlined and cost-efficient. This library
management system plays a significant role in building digital libraries
or repositories. Cloud computing also ensures optimal use of library
resources, infrastructure, human resources, etc.Moreover, the
technology is also used for library automation and quick data search.
Additionally, in a digital library, cloud computing ensures that third
party services can manage servers, carry out upgrades, and create data
backups.
4. Internet of Things
The best-integrated library software and LMS software have started
using the Internet of Things (IoT) to transfer data without human
intervention. Libraries use IoT to control inventory, prevent theft, and
identify users. It also helps in improving the quality and speed of
circulation desk activities. Moreover, IoT expedites reservation of
books, fire detection in the library and its prevention, and streamline
eLibrary services.
6. Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence (AI) uses the power of a robot or a computer that
tries to do tasks that humans usually do. The most common application
of AI in a library is the chatbots that receive directional questions from
users and resolve them. They can alert the user about their book
submission due date, direct a user to the relevant library segment, and
automatically schedule appointments.
1. Digital resources
For those of us who are not so determinedly retro, digital devices tend
to play an increasingly important role throughout the course of the
entire day. We keep up with the news by scrolling Twitter and catch up
with friends on Facebook. We discover new music on Spotify, and
wind down at night with a good read on our Kindles.
Libraries and their like have existed for millennia; they progress with
society, altering and adapting their services to meet the information
needs of their communities.
New call-to-action
3. Library automation
Public libraries can benefit from automation in various ways to
streamline operations, enhance the user experience, and improve
efficiency. Among other tasks and processes, the following can be
automated at a public library:
Cataloging and inventory management: Libraries can automate the
process of adding books, digital resources and other materials to the
library catalog.
Fine and fee collection: More and more libraries are moving away from
charging late fees altogether, but those that still do can automate the
assessment and collection of fines and fees for overdue materials.
Notifications and payment processing can be handled electronically.
The code for open source software, on the other hand, is written with a
license that allows it to be modified and enhanced by the end user.
Library professionals like open source systems because they are
endlessly customizable — and also because they are often free, which
frees up a bit of the library budget.
Digital formats may never replace books entirely, which means that the
librarian's traditional role remains relevant in the 21st century, even as
it continues to evolve and expand, adopting new innovations and
responding to the needs of the community.
Description:
Technology has revolutionized the ways in which libraries store, share,
and access information, as well as librarian roles as knowledge
managers. As digital resources and tools continue to advance, so too do
the opportunities for libraries to become more efficient and house more
information. Effective administration of libraries is a crucial part of
delivering library services to patrons and ensuring that information
resources are disseminated efficiently.

Digital Repositories
The Texas Digital Library hosts Open Access digital repositories using
DSpace, allowing member institutions to provide reliable online access
to their scholarly and instructional output.
While library organizations and leaders recognize this and try to stay
ahead of the curve, the rate of output for new technologies makes
keeping pace almost impossible. The current onslaught of artificial
intelligence (AI) software and tools accurately illustrates this dilemma.
Over the years, libraries responded to the ebbs and flows of artificial
intelligence by implementing tools and processes as they became
widely available. This present wave of new AI tools, though, is leaving
libraries and library professionals scrambling to incorporate changes
across the institution.
By presenting five fundamental ways that artificial intelligence impacts
libraries, this article explores the potential intersections between its
existing uses and the possibilities of additional applications.
1. Information professionals
The organization and accessibility of information is a key focus of
library professionals. They are constantly looking for innovative ways
to make improvements.
2. Library operations
Smart Libraries
The future of artificial intelligence in library operations lies in the idea
of a ‘Smart Library’ that is available to patrons without being directly
staffed. Everything from doors to lighting, self-service kiosks, and
personal computers will be controlled remotely. Patrons will engage
with personal digital assistants (PDA) to search for and retrieve
materials.
3. User services
Providing reliable and valuable services tailored to unique user groups
has long been a key objective of libraries and library professionals.
Because these services include fundamental components of every
library like Collection Development, Circulation, Reference,
Interlibrary Loans, and Programming, they may seem static. In reality,
though, they are remarkably fluid, ever-adapting to dynamic forces like
user demands and emergent technologies.
5. Library analytics
Data analysis in libraries generally relies on static data that is gathered
through circulation and usage records, stored for later analysis, and
eventually manipulated to answer specific questions like:
Not only is this method labor intensive and ineffective, but it also
guarantees that the available data is outdated and irrelevant.
Final thoughts
Purpose
Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the latest digital transformation
(DT) technological trends the university library can use to provide
library users with alternative educational services. AI can foster
intelligent decisions for retrieving and sharing information for learning
and research. However, extant literature confirms a low adoption rate
by the university libraries in using AI to provide innovative alternative
services, as this is missing in their strategic plan. The research develops
(AI-LSICF) an artificial intelligence library services innovative
conceptual framework to provide new insight into how AI technology
can be used to deliver value-added innovative library services to
achieve digital transformation. It will also encourage library and
information professionals to adopt AI to complement effective service
delivery.
Design/methodology/approach
This study adopts a qualitative content analysis to investigate extant
literature on how AI adoption fosters innovative services in various
organisations. The study also used content analysis to generate possible
solutions to aid AI service innovation and delivery in university
libraries.
Findings
This study uses its findings to develop an Artificial Intelligence Library
Services Innovative Conceptual Framework (AI-LSICF) by integrating
AI applications and functions into the digital transformation framework
elements and discussed using a service innovation framework.
Research limitations/implications
In research, AI-LSICF helps increase an understanding of AI by
presenting new insights into how the university library can leverage
technology to actualise innovation in service provision to foster DT.
This trail will be valuable to scholars and academics interested in
addressing the application pathways of AI library service innovation,
which is still underexplored in digital transformation.
Practical implications
In practice, AI-LSICF could reform the information industry from its
traditional brands into a more applied and resolutely customer-driven
organisation. This reformation will awaken awareness of how
librarians and information professionals can leverage technology to
catch up with digital transformation in this age of the fourth industrial
revolution.
Social implications
The enlightenment of AI-LSICF will motivate library professionals to
take advantage of AI's potential to enhance their current business model
and achieve a unique competitive advantage within their community.
Originality/value
AI-LSICF development serves as a revelation, motivating university
libraries and information professionals to consider AI in their strategic
plan to enable technology to support university education. This act will
enable alternative service delivery in the face of unforeseen
circumstances like technological disruption and the present global
COVID-19 pandemic that requires non-physical interaction.
1. Content indexing
Up until today, indexing has been a tedious and manual task. It is done
partly by publishers and partly by authors. Indexing provides an
overview of the context in which the book, journal, or paper was
originally thought up. However, indexing says very little about, for
example, other fields the information could potentially be useful for,
and human-made labeling and indexing is hampering interdisciplinary
discovery. It also limits the literature’s ability to stay relevant over time
because the indexing was done in a specific category in a specific
context, and over time that context of what we know about the world
will change.
2. Document matching
AI machines are better at processing documents fast and accurately
than humans. Thanks to automatic proper indexing, AI tools are now
identifying similarities and differences between documents or patents.
Matching documents with similar ones or connecting sections that are
describing the same topics, solutions, or phenomena is now possible.
When a document can be indexed based on its actual content, it means
that you can compare the content of thousands of documents that are
contextually relevant to the search topic. It can be limited to only
sections of a document, such as certain book chapters or research paper
sections. Then you compare the content in these sections to find exactly
what you’re looking for in the literature rather than doing a five
keyword summary in the indexing. It is an essential operation that helps
researchers and libraries to get to their knowledge easier and faster.
3. Death of citation
The citation system can be perceived as a popularity contest, but it
doesn’t do much more than providing a very biased overview of a
researcher network. When doing research landscape mapping and
literature reviews, it is clear that using the citation system for
snowballing is not an ideal method for covering everything. AI
algorithms, which are based on the actual content of papers, will create
far better mapping systems of the actual research, and be of major help
to librarians and researchers alike (as opposed to the network of
researchers presented in the citation system).
4. Content summarization
Automatic content summarization is about condensing documents to a
shorter version, independently from human interference, while
preserving the key elements and the meaning of the original text.
Instead of summarising the whole article or book, AI tools are able to
summarize just a section of a book or five documents into three
sentences. AI tools for content summarizations are already available
online and gaining popularity as well as machine learning algorithms
that are continuously improving this task.
Extracted summarization:
Extractive summarization depends on extracting sentences from the
original text based on a scoring function. It selects the most important
sections of the input based on the statistical survey and rearranges them
together to produce a new condensed version of the document.
Abstracted summarization:
Abstractive summarization used advanced natural language techniques
to produce a new summarized version of the document that is different
from the original one. It aims at preserving the most important
sentences while rephrasing them and incorporating critical information,
like a human-written summary.
5. Quality of service
AI has penetrated the world of librarians and researchers in the form of
chatbots that can answer directional or simple questions, alert when a
new book is published, and direct a customer to specific library
resources. The automation of conversations between a user and a
machine will enable librarians to embed their focus on more difficult
questions and save time answering repetitive ones. This will also enable
libraries to extend the opening hours of both in-person and online
services.

E-resources
E-resources is a digital media firm with a singular focus: to provide our
clients with a dedicated partner that advances their mission with web-
based solutions. An electronic resource is defined as a resource which
require computer access or any electronic product that delivers a
collection of data, be it text referring to full text bases, electronic
journals, image collections, other multimedia products and numerical,
graphical or time based, as a commercially available title that has been
published with an aim to being marketed.
Electronic resources form one of many formats that the Library collects
to support its universal collections. Electronic resources include
websites, online databases, e-journals, e-books, and physical carriers in
all formats, whether free or fee-based, required to support research in
the subject covered, and maybe audio, visual, and/or text files.

Libraries are storehouses of information that support decision making
in society. The COVID-19 pandemic shook the foundations of the
operations of libraries. Libraries had to shut their doors on their
cherished patrons. This created information hunger and anxiety.
Librarians were also locked outside their libraries and could not provide
access to the information resources within their libraries. Using
technology, services such as remote/off-campus and online services
were provided to users. Looking through the lens of the pandemic, the
attention of librarians is drawn to the need to invest in electronic
resources, the need to invest in emerging technologies for the provision
of library services, and the need for disaster management policies and
plans.
