Abstract

Purpose

This study explores the pivotal role of artificial intelligence (AI) in revolutionizing knowledge organization within Nigerian libraries. The purpose of this study is to assess the challenges faced by these libraries, propose strategic approaches for successful AI integration and highlight the potential benefits and future directions of this transformative journey.

Design/methodology/approach

This study uses a comprehensive review of existing literature, case studies and a qualitative analysis of challenges faced by Nigerian libraries. Strategies for AI integration are proposed based on targeted capacity building, collaborative partnerships and phased implementation approaches. The methodology also involves assessing the current landscape of AI in Nigerian academic libraries, examining applications and exploring the perceived impacts of AI on library services.

Findings

Nigerian libraries face challenges such as limited resources, outdated systems and diverse information that hinder traditional knowledge organization methods. The integration of AI offers dynamic solutions, streamlining administrative tasks, optimizing search algorithms and enhancing user engagement. The findings of this study emphasize the potential benefits of AI, including improved accessibility, searchability and long-term efficiency gains in library collections.

Originality/value

This research contributes to the existing literature by providing insights into the specific challenges faced by Nigerian libraries and proposing practical strategies for AI integration. This study emphasizes the transformative potential of AI in addressing immediate challenges and unlocking enduring benefits. The originality lies in the context-specific exploration of AI in Nigerian libraries, offering a roadmap for stakeholders to embrace technological advancements and position libraries as leaders in providing innovative knowledge services.

Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to explore the transformative potential of integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and the metaverse into academic libraries, envisioning a future where personalized, immersive and accessible user experiences redefine the traditional concept of libraries. The purpose is to analyse the synergy between AI and the metaverse in enhancing library services and user interactions.

Design/methodology/approach

The study uses a literature review approach to synthesize current knowledge on AI, the metaverse and their integration into academic libraries. It delves into the functionalities of AI in cataloguing, personalization and predictive analysis, coupled with the immersive experiences offered by the metaverse. The design envisions metaverse-infused academic libraries as digital spaces hosting AI-driven virtual assistants, personalized learning paths and collaborative environments.

Findings

The integration of AI and the metaverse in academic libraries presents opportunities for personalized learning experiences, efficient resource management and global collaboration. The findings suggest that the synergy enhances accessibility, inclusivity and efficiency in library services, albeit with challenges such as the digital divide, privacy concerns and technical complexities.

Originality/value

This study contributes to the discourse on the future of academic libraries by proposing a comprehensive vision of metaverse-infused libraries empowered by AI. It underscores the originality and value of the integration, emphasizing the potential for personalized, interactive and globally accessible learning and research environments.
