The Mechanism of Artificial Intelligence Enabling the Development of Smart Libraries
[Purpose/Significance]This study focuses on analyzing the mechanism of artificial intelligence enabling the development of smart libraries,and provides reference for the construction of smart library.[Design/Methodology]Employing Grounded theory,in-depth interviews with experts and practitioners in the library field,and coding techniques to process the collected data,we construct a conceptual model of the mechanism of action of AI-enabled smart library development.[Findings/Conclusion]The development mechanism of smart libraries in the artificial intelligence technology environment is a complex process that integrates technical support and user experience optimization.At the level of smart technology,artificial intelligence enhances the daily operational efficiency of the libraries;at the level of smart resources,it improves the efficiency of resource utilization,acquisition,and organization;in terms of smart space,it creates a more humanized and personalized learning and communication environment;at the level of smart services,it improves the service response speed and quality,and enhances user satisfaction and loyalty;in terms of smart management,it provides strong support for management decision-making,performance assessment,and resource optimization.[Originality/Value]This study reveals the action mechanism of artificial intelligence empowering the development of smart libraries,advancing the theoretical research on smart libraries and offering strategic references for library managers.
