Emerging Trends in Academic Library Services: A Perspective of Library Automation and Management

Abstract

For library automation and remote management services, the recent development of the Internet of Things (IoT) across various applications has received a lot of attention. In order to support future changes and upgrades, academic libraries should use scalable software and technologies while adopting IoT. Academic libraries in developing nations must continue to look for new ways to earn money for IoT deployment and maintenance, as well as expand network bandwidth. Information and communication technologies (ICT) have proven to be the effective standard for library automation and its remote management services. The functionality of loT-based academic libraries is mainly dependent on emerging ICT techniques. Therefore, the objective of this article is to present a study on various emerging ICT trends in academic library services. During this study, we have explored the use of different ICT standards for library management and their role for library automation in the education industry.
