Abstract
This article discusses how AI can enhance user services, accessibility, management, library services, and analytics, as well as how it affects librarians and library professionals. It also emphasizes how crucial AI literacy is becoming for users and library employees in the contemporary environment. Also discussed about the smart library and its various services and also linked with AI in the present age. In this article discussed smart library and same time try to find out the applicability of robotic technology particularly in smart library. Academic libraries, especially those in colleges and universities, are greatly impacted by AI, which will also alter the services that these institutions offer in the future. Also find out the role of librarian in the present scenario and application of Artificial intelligence (AI) in library, they may help smart users for different research work. Discuss the concept of smart library as well as smart users. All things considered, artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing for college and university libraries through enhanced information retrieval, tailored recommendations, resource management optimization, enhanced user experience, data-driven decision support, and collaboration and knowledge sharing. There are two sections in this article. After introducing the smart library, its AI applications are described.
