● Emerging Trends in
Library and
Information Science
Virtual Reality

● Virtual reality (VR) technology provides the user with a headset.


● Users can look up, down, and around simply by moving their heads
● Libraries may have the opportunity to offer users their first interactions with virtual reality
● With this new technology, library can be viewed sitting in one place. Nowadays, Many museums started using this
technology.
● Ex: In California, Oculus launched an initiative that made 100 Oculus Rift headsets and VR-ready computers
available in 90 libraries.
Social Media

● Establishing, maintaining, and growing a social media presence is important for libraries
● Social media links make library events, activities, and offerings easily sharable.
● By responding to social media tags, comments, or mentions, libraries gain a valuable opportunity to engage with
their audience and strengthen social connections
Media Labs

● Multimedia labs are already a trend in many libraries across the country
● They offer library users the chance to learn and use design software and equipment for photo editing, video
production, website design, and page layout.
● They offer library users the chance to learn and use design software and equipment for photo editing, video
production, website design, and page layout.
Video Streaming

● Some libraries started circulating GoChip Beams for patrons to take home. They are essentially storage devices with
their own hotspot network.

● Each GoChip can hold five feature-length movies or an entire season of a TV series.

● Patrons connect a mobile device, computer, or TV streaming device to the GoChip's network and watch the movies
or TV shows through the GoChip app.

● Patrons find them really easy to use. These are great for patrons who don't have home Internet, a TV, or a Netflix
subscription.
Artificial ● Alexa available on everyone’s
devices nowadays, artificial
Intelligence intelligence is no longer a futuristic
technology as it is gaining poulartiy
in our everyday activities.

● Some of them feel that Artificial


intelligence is a challenge to libraries.

● The intelligence is artificial, not


human. Libraries can connect people
to information and, more importantly,
to other people”, whereas AI can’t.
Blockchain technology

● Blockchain technology is the most discussed technologies becsuee of the poularity of the Bitcoin power.

● Blockchain technology represents a decentralized database that keeps records of pseudonymized digital transactions
that are visible to anyone within the network. Therefore, it is a new way to collect and store data.

● Sue Alman, a teacher on emerging technologies highlights in an article for EdSurge that blockchain technology
“could be used to build an enhanced metadata system for libraries, to keep track of digital-first sale rights and
ownership, to connect networks of libraries and universities, or even to support community-based borrowing and
skill sharing programs.”
Drones

● The small flying devices remotely controlled are another trendsetter in library.

● Drones can be used for creating content for the library, collecting data.

● Users who don’t have the possibility to go to the library; be it because of a disability, or because of the long distance
to the library
Cloud Computing

● Any server usage or software application you can access outside of your local server (Wolf, 2010)

And many more other apps

Most used cloud applications


Cloud Computing - Types

● Three types of cloud computing


● Software as a Service (SaaS) or Applicaion as service (AaaS)
● Platform as as Service ( PaaS) or Hardware as a Service (HaaS)
● Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
● Software as a servi
Use of Cloud Computing in Library

● With the help of cloud computing technology libraries can host their website. The district of Columbia Public
Library is using Amazon’s EC2 (Elastic computing cloud) service to host their website.
● Libraries can use cloud technology like Google docs to collect response to web forms, Google Calendar on and
meeting rooms, and Google Analytics to collect statistics about their website, catalogue and blogs.
Use of Cloud Computing in Library

● Libraries can build digital library, content management system, institutional repository. Inter Library Loan system
and Integrated Library System (ILS) from locally managed to vendor-hosted environment, on their own with the
help of cloud service.
● Cloud computing can be applied for backing up of media collections and storing and accessing of bibliographic data.
Libraries can also and maintain much of the same data hundreds and thousands of times
