The document discusses the potential applications of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies in libraries. Some key points:
- IoT allows physical objects like sensors, devices, and other items to be connected through networks and be able to collect and transfer data. This enables libraries to track resources, automate processes, and enhance user experiences.
- Potential IoT applications in libraries include library management systems, digital platforms, e-resource access tools, mobile apps, security/monitoring systems, and interactive learning experiences using smart objects.
- Libraries are starting to use IoT technologies like sensors, magic mirrors, pressure pads, and cloud-based apps to record user data, provide virtual tours, track resource availability, and
