Integrating Artificial Intelligence in Library Management

Abstract

Due to technological advances in artificial intelligence (AI), the public and academic library community are interested in using it. Since this technology is still being researched and has not yet been made available to the public, there is a unique opportunity to study a representative sample of librarians using the diffusion of innovations model and their views on artificial intelligence. There is no scientific library and information science (LIS) publication that covers this breadth yet. Such an analysis might provide light on innovation diffusion theory and academic library personnel' views on AI in general. This research may be valuable for technologically oriented academic library administrators and personnel who want to promote artificial intelligence technologies in their libraries.
