Automation to Artificial Intelligence: Smart Knowledge Environments With Disruptive Technologies in Libraries

We are seeking proposals of no more than 500 words for a chapter in the upcoming edited book. Libraries are undergoing a huge transformation. Technologies are increasingly being integrated, like AI, Blockchain, IoT, and robotics, creating smart knowledge environments. This edited book is seeking scholars, practitioners, and technologists to contribute their chapters that explore the future of libraries and information centers through interdisciplinary lenses. The publisher is Springer Nature. Proposals have been extended to November 28, 2025. Send to
