Artificial intelligence technologies in information and library systems

Abstract

The effectiveness of innovative scientific and educational activities largely relies on the technologies of the library industry, including modern information and library systems. Academic and research libraries introduce new technologies in an effort to improve the quality of their services. Artificial intelligence is one of the key technologies for digital transformation of the library industry. The study is aimed at identifying trends in the use of artificial intelligence in information and library service technologies. The author applied the general dialectical method, theoretical analysis and generalization of the content of special, scientific and technical literature, regulatory documents in the field of digitalization of librarianship and artificial intelligence. The results of the study have revealed the role of the integration of artificial intelligence technologies into information and library systems, which lies in the fact that they contribute to the formation of national intellectual libraries, computerization of the routine library services, and structuring innovative academic digital space for the users. Using the example of integration of context awareness technology into some information and library systems, the ability of a digital system to make “reasonable” decisions to extract relevant information for learning and self-education is demonstrated, which also allows to find educational materials on the topic being studied, and to build explicit educational route for a user.
