Research on Artificial Intelligence in Libraries

Abstract

AI technology is evolving fast in many industries. However, less research has been conducted on how AI is applied in the library industry. Other than in 2022, bibliometric analysis shows that the number of library research papers has progressively increased from 2015 to 2024, with paper articles being the leading publication type in the library research industry. The dominant research area in library artificial intelligence is Computer Science. Most of the library artificial intelligence papers are published in the medical field, while the Journal of Medical Internet Research has the highest number of library artificial intelligence papers. Some of the leading nations involved in library-related AI research are the United States, China, England, and Canada. This work also further discusses the use of AI in interactive university libraries, including information retrieval, reference, library roles in artificial intelligence education for teachers and learners, and two artificial intelligence algorithms. Librarians need to up their competencies and skills for them to take full advantage of the potential use of AI in libraries.
