AI-Based Tools and Their Role in Modern Library Systems

Abstract The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) based tools into modern library systems has revolutionized the management, utility and accessibility of library resources. As digital transformation accelerates in the field of information science, library and Information Centres have adopted a range of AI driven technologies such as automated content moderation, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems, advanced search engines and explainable AI interfaces to address challenges related to cataloguing, resource discovery, user engagement and content curation. Drawing on recent case studies and technological developments, this research paper examines the spectrum of AI based tools employed in contemporary library environments, evaluates their impact on service enhancement and discusses the multifaceted advantages AI tools bring to library operations. Through an analysis of empirical studies and implementation experiences, the paper elucidates how AI fosters efficiency, inclusivity and innovation in libraries, while also considering the implications for users, staff, and the broader information ecosystem.
