Intelligent Libraries

Abstract

The emergence of Metaverse has provided new prospects and motivation for the development of intelligent libraries. At the same time, it puts forward new requirements and challenges to the professional competence of intelligent librarians. This chapter analyzes the development opportunities of the Metaverse and its application prospects in intelligent libraries to promote innovation and optimization of library services. It also discusses the advantages of Metaverse and its underlying technologies, as well as the theoretical logic of Metaverse application in libraries. Metaverse and its related technologies are the key to promote libraries to fully intelligent libraries, and the concept of Metaverse also creates more advantages for libraries in terms of collection resource management, reading space, cultural promotion, reading experience, and special user services to realize the morphological reform of intelligent libraries. Intelligent libraries should seize the opportunity to create a new form of innovative development of immersive experience.
