Thesis Overview

The research project titled "Exploring the Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Library Services and User Experience" aims to investigate the influence of artificial intelligence (AI) on library services and user experiences. In recent years, the advancement of AI technologies has significantly transformed various industries, and the field of library and information science is no exception. This study seeks to delve into the implications of integrating AI into library operations and services to enhance user experiences, improve efficiency, and expand access to information resources. The research will begin with a comprehensive literature review to examine existing studies, frameworks, and models related to AI applications in libraries. By analyzing previous research findings, the project will identify key trends, challenges, and opportunities in the adoption of AI technologies within library settings. This literature review will serve as a foundation for understanding the current landscape of AI in libraries and guiding the subsequent research methodologies. The study will employ a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative and qualitative research methods to collect and analyze data. Surveys, interviews, and observations will be conducted to gather insights from both library professionals and users regarding their perceptions, experiences, and expectations regarding AI-enhanced library services. Quantitative data analysis will involve statistical methods to measure the impact of AI on service efficiency, user satisfaction, and resource accessibility. Furthermore, the research will explore the implementation of AI-driven tools such as chatbots, recommendation systems, and data analytics in libraries to automate routine tasks, personalize user interactions, and optimize information retrieval processes. By assessing the effectiveness of these AI applications, the study aims to provide practical recommendations for libraries seeking to leverage AI technologies to enhance their services and meet the evolving needs of their users. The findings of this research will contribute to the growing body of knowledge on the role of AI in libraries and its influence on user experiences. By examining the benefits and challenges associated with AI adoption in library settings, the study aims to inform library professionals, policymakers, and stakeholders about the potential impact of AI technologies on service delivery and user engagement. Ultimately, the research seeks to offer insights and guidelines for libraries looking to harness the power of AI to create more efficient, user-centric, and responsive information services in the digital age.
