Overview

With the constant evolution of technology, libraries must grapple with the urgent need to adapt or face obsolescence. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into library operations presents many new opportunities as well as a complex array of challenges. The traditional roles of libraries, as pillars of knowledge and information, are being reshaped by AI, compelling institutions to reassess their relevance in an ever-evolving digital landscape. The urgency of this intersection between libraries and AI is emphasized by the necessity to revolutionize outdated systems, and it is in this dynamic context that Applications of Artificial Intelligence in Libraries emerges as an essential guide. Applications of Artificial Intelligence in Libraries offers a comprehensive exploration of the multifaceted integration of AI into library operations and services. This book goes beyond theoretical discourse, providing real-world case studies, practical implementations, and research that illustrates how AI is reshaping cataloging, resource discovery, user interactions, and data management within library environments. For librarians and AI professionals alike, the challenges are diverse, ranging from ethical considerations and privacy concerns to the complex task of incorporating AI into the fabric of library services. The book addresses the ethical implications of AI-enabled libraries, offering strategies for navigating privacy concerns and potential challenges in the implementation of AI. It serves as a strategic guide for evaluating the impact and effectiveness of AI initiatives, developing policies and practices centered around AI, and training librarians for the inevitable integration of AI into their roles. By fostering collaboration between librarians, researchers, and AI experts, this book aims to empower professionals to navigate the transformative journey that AI is ushering in for libraries, fostering innovation, collaboration, and the creation of more effective and user-centric library services.
