Abstract


Internet of Things: A Route to Smart LibrariesInternet of things (IoT) is the ubiquitous technology in the present scenario. The possibility of connecting various objects in the library with human–human, thing–human, thing–thing without human interference is possible through these embedded technologies. The artificial intelligence of this kind helps mankind in various aspects in daily life. This paper discusses the concept of IoT applicable to library housekeeping activities. Radio-frequency identification (RFID), wireless sensor network (WSN), WiFi, mobile applications, wearable body sensors paved the way for new trends in the library services. The future is of IoT libraries instead of digital libraries.
