ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE USE IN MODERN LIBRARY SERVICES

Description

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing various sectors, and libraries are no exception. This paper explores the applications, benefits, and challenges of AI in modern library services. Through a comprehensive literature review and analysis of current
trends, we examine how AI technologies such as machine learning, natural language processing, and predictive analytics are transforming key library functions including information retrieval, cataloguing, user services, and collection management. The study highlights the potential of AI to enhance efficiency, personalize user experiences, and innovate library services. However, it also addresses critical challenges such as ethical concerns, technological barriers, and resistance to change. By providing a balanced view of AI's impact on libraries, this paper aims to inform library professionals, policymakers, and researchers about the current state and future prospects of AI in library science, emphasizing the need for strategic implementation and ongoing
evaluation of AI technologies in library settings .Library staff should be exposed to training and retraining in the use of artificial intelligence in delivering of libraries’ services; among others. paper aims to explore the capabilities of AI in enhancing library services, evaluate its advantages and drawbacks, and propose avenues for subsequent research.
