- 2. INTRODUCTION Artificial Intelligence (AI) is new in computer trends and is also used in library applications. It entails teaching computers to perform tasks considered intelligent if performed by humans. The ultimate objective of artificial intelligence in libraries is to create computer systems or computers that are capable of thinking, acting, and even surpassing human cognition; this has clear implications for librarianship. Among these are virtual reality for immersive learning, book reading and shelf reading robots, and expert systems for reference services. Despite the belief that doing so will drive librarians away from their consumers, artificial intelligence is likely to assist libraries in achieving more rather than replacing them. It will improve the way they provide services. Artificial intelligence will have a significant positive impact on library operations and services. It will also enhance and increase the importance of libraries in a rapidly evolving digital society.
- 3. Definition of AI Artificial intelligence is the design and development of computers to do activities that need human intellect, such as speech recognition, decision- making, goal-setting, language conversion, communication, and recognition of mental states. (Wright, Palepu, and Irizarry-Nones, 2017).
- 4. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND RANGANATHAN’S PRINCIPLE OF LIBRARIANSHIP 1. Books are for use All procedures and activities encourage the utilization of the library's information resources. Artificial intelligence technologies facilitate simpler access to and utilization of books and other information materials for users. Now that most books are available digitally, people can use them more than ever before because of their increased accessibility.
- 5. 2. Every reader his/her book Regardless of the kind, libraries provide services to many people. As a result, the library purchases information resources to fulfill a wide range of requirements. Every person possesses a specific book or information resource that fulfills their information needs at that given moment. Library users must obtain the book. This is made feasible by intelligent systems like the recommender system. It can suggest resources for the collection development librarian to obtain from the library as well as the best information that satisfies the user's information demands.
- 6. 3. Every book its reader Every book has a specific readership. It is improper to utilize or leave books or other information resources on the shelf. They need to have a designated spot in the library, regardless of how few people decide to use them. Artificial Intelligence serves as a mediator between users and books, enabling the book to reach its audience as well as the users of the book.
- 7. 4. Do not waste the time of a user This is the ultimate objective that the use of AI in libraries aims to accomplish. Users get more agitated and busy. An intelligent system may rapidly ascertain the requirements of a library user and offer the user with the answers to their questions. Additionally, the quickest path from the user's current location to a library information resource location can be found thanks to an intelligent algorithm. This clever technology can determine the locations of both users and books and provide instructions to link them.
- 8. 5. Library is a growing organism Libraries have changed during the past ten years. This is because a library is a dynamic establishment that should never adopt a static viewpoint. Both the theory and practice of librarianship have grown in some respects. AI is being used in libraries and information centres to improve services for library users while also fostering growth.
- 9. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE USED IN LIBRARY PROCESSES AI for Cataloguing and Classification Artificial Intelligence in Classification and Cataloguing Modern libraries' cataloguing and categorization systems have undergone a considerable transformation thanks to artificial intelligence (AI) technology, which has improved user experience, accuracy, and efficiency. To expedite these procedures, recent developments in artificial intelligence (AI) have brought advanced tools that make use of machine learning, natural language processing (NLP), and deep learning. For example, the classification of library resources is now automated using machine learning techniques. These algorithms are capable of accurately classifying resources by analyzing information, text, and images. Machine learning models can continuously increase their categorization accuracy because they can learn from enormous volumes of data.
- 10. AI for Circulation (OPAC) 1. Better Search and Discovery: AI-driven search algorithms improve information retrieval systems, making it possible for users to locate pertinent resources more rapidly and precisely. 2. Effective Metadata Management: By automating the creation and administration of metadata for library resources, artificial intelligence (AI) technologies lessen the labour of librarians while guaranteeing cataloging accuracy and consistency. This makes library operations more efficient and makes it easier for users to find resources. 3. 24/7 Virtual Assistance: Chatbots and virtual assistants driven by AI offer library services round- the-clock assistance. 4. Data-driven decision-making: AI gives libraries the ability to examine vast amounts of data, such as usage patterns and user reviews, to learn more about the preferences and behavior of its patrons.
- 11. AI for Reference Services Intelligent systems are developed to refer library patrons to information resources likely to answer their reference queries within the library system. More work has been done on systems for reference services than on any other service or section in the library to enable users to obtain information resources and have their reference queries answered in real- time through developed digital reference resources and services in libraries (Chemulwo and Sirorei, 2020).
- 12. AI for Collection Development AI tools can be utilized in selecting vendors or book dealers for library materials. An intelligent system to identify a vendor or bookseller can be designed based on previously successful transactions in supplying publications of a specific kind. Such tools would be of particular importance in the procurement of information materials that are less routine, such as conference proceedings, publications in foreign languages or other countries, and certain technical reports, among others.
- 13. AI for Indexing Indexing of library resources, especially periodicals, is another area where AI tools are being designed. The basis for document retrieval is indexing. The purpose of indexing is to enhance precision (ensuring that the fraction of the retrieved material is appropriate); and recall (the percentage of appropriate materials retrieved).
- 14. DIFFICULTIES IN USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN LIBRARIES Financial Uncertainty Openness to Change Technical Knowhow and Slow Learning Curves among Library Staff Users’ Privacy Linguistic Capabilities Understanding of Users’ Emotions
- 15. CONCLUSION Applications of artificial intelligence in libraries are a veritable tool to attain this goal of re- examining processes and innovating services if libraries are to prosper in the new information economy. Artificial intelligence systems for technical services, resource management, circulation, reference, and information retrieval/dissemination will be of significant help to libraries. Artificial intelligence will significantly improve library operations and service delivery, despite rumours that it will make librarians obsolete. It will also increase libraries' relevance in a constantly evolving digital world. Furthermore, similar to many other emerging technologies, artificial intelligence is also seen as a link between librarians and the human element in libraries. As such, its eventual acceptance and integration into library services will undoubtedly highlight the great promise artificial intelligence holds for the field of librarianship. Artificial intelligence won't replace the human element in libraries or weaken the bonds that libraries have with their users anytime soon.
