A Study of the Influence of AI on Library Systems Processes: A Review
Abstract
Library Systems have radically changed since the advent of artificial intelligence (AI) augmented systems. Advanced computer-based systems have increased the effectiveness of classifying, ordering, retrieving information, referring, and other standard library management activities. This paper attempts to consider the factors and interactions affecting the workings of library systems due to the introduction of AI systems. Librarianship, perhaps, finds itself in a very competitive position from AI efficiency in classifying, ordering, retrieving, and other standard tasks in library management. The paper reviews the research articles of the last 15 years in this field of studies according to CODR (Classifying, Ordering, Data recovery and Reference). It provides a coherent idea of the various factors influencing the adoption of AI in library systems. It also gives a research agenda for future research in this regard. Thus, this paper discusses AI from various fronts regarding the entry of AI in library systems and the multiple factors that influence it.
