Artificial Intelligence in the library and for librarians

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is redefining the functions of the contemporary library, offering new perspectives on how information, research, and user interaction services are delivered. This article examines the applicability of AI in key areas of library activity— from metadata processing, bibliographic work, and reference services to digital collection management and research support. It presents implementation examples from various libraries, along with specific AI tools that contribute to the efficiency of professional tasks. The study highlights the transformative potential of AI and its relevance in strengthening the library’s role within an evolving academic and informational ecosystem.
