Abstract
The Internet of Things (IoT) has emerged as a promising technology with trans formative potential in various industries, including libraries. An overview of the applications of IoT in libraries highlights the importance of data privacy considerations in the context of IoT adoption. Libraries are increasingly leveraging IoT to enhance their operations and improve user experiences. Intelligent library management systems, including automated inventory tracking, self-checkout systems, and intelligent shelf management, streamline library processes and optimize resource utilization. Environmental monitoring using IoT sensors ensures the preservation of delicate materials by monitoring temperature, humidity, and air quality in library spaces. IoT-enabled occupancy tracking provides valuable insights into space utilization, enabling effective resource allocation and planning. This paper emphasises the need for libraries to find a balance between harnessing the benefits of IoT technologies and safeguarding patrons' data privacy. By implementing appropriate privacy safeguards, libraries can leverage the potential of IoT to enhance their services while maintaining the trust and privacy of their users.
