Abstract
Libraries will be transformed with IoT-based smart library systems that will transform the operation and communication model of libraries with their users. This article covers the idea of IoT-enabled smart libraries and describes how automation and connectivity can help in library management and improve workflow. Using recent trends, technology innovations, and actual library case studies, this paper tries to give a clear picture of all the benefits and drawbacks of using IoT solutions in libraries, concluding that IoT can lead to much better user experience, operation, and data-driven decision-making. Libraries that use IoT devices can create better experiences for users to access resources more quickly and with more personalization. Moreover, through the automation of library functions, staff can concentrate on more strategic projects that result in higher-quality library services. However, the move to IoT systems is not easy. Libraries have to get a handle on technical details, and data security, and train staff in how to use these new technologies.
