As artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a promising future technology among the fourth industrial revolution, we are trying to apply artificial intelligence technology across all area of society, including libraries. This study investigated the effects, issues, and implications of artificial intelligence on university library services. As a research method, in-depth interviews were conducted with IT experts of university libraries in North America, and conclusions and discussion were drawn from interview results and related documents. Research results revealed that university libraries in North America were trying to build an infrastructure that facilitates information access and retrieval based on artificial intelligence systems and to provide new services in collaboration with AI research institutes in universities. This study raised issues regarding the expansion of the role of libraries and librarians, privacy, and data quality. It was also discussed that the need for re-education of university librarians to become software engineers who play a role in disseminating knowledge. In addition, this study suggested the investment for the establishment of the information system and an artificial intelligence research center in the library. The study discussed limitations of research due to changes in the research environment and suggestions for future research.

It has been demonstrated through previous demand analysis that the subject-oriented service system in university libraries are in higher demand than the function-oriented system. Despite of the increasing number of studies that prove cost-effectiveness and operational efficiency of the subject-oriented library service, there are virtually no university libraries in Korea that fully operate subject-oriented service. This study aims to propose a set of practical guidelines for university libraries to introduce subject-oriented service in the midst of many existing constraints, namely staff shortage. The study describes responsibilities of subject specialist librarians and analyzes best practices of subject-oriented service. Also it shows current standing of university libraries of difference size based on web site research of four-year university libraries.

The purpose of this paper is to measure and analyse the relative efficiency of 17 public libraries in Daejeon metropolitan city using Data Envelopment Analysis. In this paper, total staffs, total area, total holdings are used as library inputs and total circulations, total user visits are used as library outputs. The estimated results show that libraries operate at 64.15% efficiency and only 4 libraries are relatively efficient. Inefficiency of the public libraries was due to small use of outputs compared to inputs.

It is needed that academic libraries in Korea establish appropriate management strategies for their information services and organization development. Strategic plan can be an effective tool for those strategies. This study examined the concept and establishing process of strategic plan. And this study looked into the strategic planning of Indiana State University libraries as a case. As the result of research, this study provided some considerations for the establishment of strategic plans in Korean academic libraries.

The intricacies of web development have orchestrated a paradigm shift in academic libraries. The study explored literature on the status of automation of academic libraries and web development in Nigeria. It was established that the functions of library management software are abysmally under-utilized in academic libraries in Nigeria, thus, progression of automation projects remain a swinging pendulum. The paper, therefore, recommends that librarians should acquire the relevant training and plan strategically for all automation projects aimed at incorporating the intricacies of the web and ICTs into library services to fully utilize the functions of the library management systems in line with web developmental stages, thus, be able to compete globally.

These days the number of copyright issues concerning libraries is increasing. The reason is a library is the place that collects and uses copyrighted materials. The copyright issues that libraries face will be more radical, because of the growing number of digital media especially appearance of a digital library. To make the current situation better, this study suggests the standard of copyright compliance policy for university libraries in order to serve within the range of copyright law. Copyright compliance policy is a reasonable guideline meeting user's intellectual needs and protecting a copyright holder's right.

Due to the radical changes of information technology, it becomes indispensable for educators and students of university to learn how to use copyrighted works ethically and legally without violating the copyright law. As a result, academic libraries need to take responsibilities to inform them fair use criteria and to provide proper fair use guidelines. This study analysed various fair use guidelines for them and copyright law to identify key areas of fair use guideline for the academic libraries. It also investigated 10 university libraries' web sites to find that the identified key areas are delivered to the educators and students.

With the advancement of internet technology, traditional university libraries are going through metamorphosis into digital libraries. Digital libraries substitute digital files for printed materials, metadata for catalogues, world wide users on the network for localized patrons, while offering limitless possibilities for easy downloading of information. The aim of the study is to present a model for our digital library based on the knowledge auquired from the analysis of the state of the art technology employed in building and managing digital libraries and the management of large quantity of SGML electronic documents. This paper is our belief that the national information infrastructure for university digital libraries are mandatory for an open information society.

The purpose of this study is to Investigate the factors haying an Influence on activating the Interlibrary loan between national university libraries. Data were collected by and questionnaires. To analyze the factors activating the Interlibrary loan, 1-test and regression analysis method Is adopted depending on the type of data collected. The findings of the study shows that the interlibrary loan can be more actively performed in the group of libraries to focus the subject background on library and Information science than the other group the number of lending cases is highly affected by collection size. the number of periodical titles, annually increased number of collections and periodical titles. Otherwise the number of borrowing cases is much less affected than the number of lending cases by the above factors : the interlibrary loan can be more actively conducted in the group of libraries using facsimile or PC than the other group.

In the vibrant environment, documentation and managing systems are maintained autonomously through education foundations, book materials and libraries at the same time as information are not voluntarily accessible in a centralized location. At the moment Libraries are providing online resources and services for education activities. Moreover, libraries are applying outlets of social media such as Facebook as well as Instagrams to preview their services and procedures. Librarians with the assistance of promising tools and technology like analytics software are capable to accumulate more online information, analyse them for incorporating worth to their services. Thus Libraries can employ big data to construct enhanced decisions concerning collection developments, updating public spaces and tracking the purpose of library book materials. Big data is being produced due to library digitations and this has forced restrictions to academicians, researchers and policy creator's efforts in enhancing the quality and effectiveness. Accordingly, helping the library clients with research articles and book materials that are in line with the users interest is a big challenge and dispute based on Taibah university in Saudi Arabia. The issues of this domain brings the numerous sources of data from various institutions and sources into single place in real time which can be time consuming. The most important aim is to reduce the time that lapses among the authentic book reading and searching the specific study material.
