Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionising library services and enhancing user experience, creating a new era of efficiency, accessibility, and innovation. This editorial explores how AI reshapes the library landscape, ushering in a new generation of efficiency, accessibility, and innovation. The AI’s most notable contribution to libraries is the automation of routine tasks, cataloguing and organising; librarians can now rely on AI algorithms to streamline. It saves librarians valuable time engaging in intellectually stimulating activities and ensures a more accurate and organised library
