Library

17. Definition:
• a hardware and software complex with a wide range of opportunities for searching
and providing necessary information to virtual users according to their inquiries and
requirements.
• “Smart library is a library provided services, which are interactive, innovative,
informative, actual, changing and international” (Shah & Bano, 2020).
• “A smart library is “to satisfy” information requests of a user, using modern information
technology. It is possible to study information need of a user via instruments of
information technology.” (Baryshev & Babina, 2016)
• “Smart library refers to the smartness of the library building, through the integration of
library building equipment, computer networks, communications technology and
sensor monitoring.” (Li and Dong, 2016)
• From the above definitions, we can say that a “Smart library” is a set of various
electronic resources, accompanied by specialized library services, which are provided
by the use of information and communication technologies.

18. Four dimensions of
the smart library:

19. Smart Services
• User Centered
• Spirit of Innovation - Present technological
innovation as smart services (such as
RFID,AI, Internet of Things, etc.)
• Library-based ICT platforms (document
search, information retrieval,etc.)
• Characteristics: Interoperability and
Interconnection

20. Smart People
Smart libraries are made for and with smart
people. In the specific environment of libraries,
we can translate this concept of smart people as
follows, on two levels:
• Smart Community
• Production of Knowledge

22. Smart Governance
• Institutional and political - collaboration,
cooperation, partnership, citizen engagement, and
participation
• At the heart of smart governance is the
community, which understands the potential of
information technology for the development of the
library, as a means of reinvesting libraries for a
new ecosystem.
Keyword: Collective Intelligence

of the library and takes part in the

2 Aspects of Smart Governance

24. Smart Place
The third dimension refers to the library as a building and
as a place. In a general manner, this dimension can be
described as “smart environment” and environmental
monitoring. In fact, we can distinguish two different
aspects:
• First Aspect: Ecology, and similar to the concept of the
Green Library
• Second Aspect: Described as Smart Living related to
buildings and means.This aspect includes innovations
that contribute to improving the quality of life and
attractiveness of the library as a building and as a
place.
