Abstract
This study critically analyzes the determinants affecting the readiness of public libraries in Indonesia to adopt a smart library from the perspectives of technology, organizational, and policy. The study conducted in-depth interviews with nine public officials from the department of library and information services and also the department of information and communication in the regency of Bojonegoro, Indonesia. Our findings indicate expensive investment in cutting-edge ICTs does not necessarily result in the achievement of the smart library. The results demonstrate that data awareness, organizational issues, insufficient policies and regulations, and public concerns as more significant challenges to the adoption of a smart library than technological capability and infrastructure in the case of a developing country.
