The International Encyclopedia of Information and Library Science was published to widespread acclaim in 1996, and has become the major reference work in the field. This eagerly awaited new edition has been fully revised and updated to take full account of the many and radical changes which have taken place since the Encyclopedia was originally conceived. With nearly 600 entries, written by a global team of over 150 contributors, the subject matter ranges from mobile library services provided by camel and donkey transport to search engines, portals and the World Wide Web. The new edition retains the successful structure of the first with an alphabetical organization providing the basic framework of a coherent collection of connected entries. Conceptual entries explore and explicate all the major issues, theories and activities in information and library science, such as the economics of information and information management. A wholly new entry on information systems, and enhanced entries on the information professions and the information society, are key features of this new edition. Topical entries deal with more specific subjects, such as collections management and information services for ethnic minorities. New or completely revised entries include a group of entries on information law, and a collection of entries on the Internet and the World Wide Web.

With the constant evolution of technology, libraries must grapple with the urgent need to adapt or face obsolescence. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into library operations presents many new opportunities as well as a complex array of challenges. The traditional roles of libraries, as pillars of knowledge and information, are being reshaped by AI, compelling institutions to reassess their relevance in an ever-evolving digital landscape. The urgency of this intersection between libraries and AI is emphasized by the necessity to revolutionize outdated systems, and it is in this dynamic context that Applications of Artificial Intelligence in Libraries emerges as an essential guide. The book addresses the ethical implications of AI-enabled libraries, offering strategies for navigating privacy concerns and potential challenges in the implementation of AI. It serves as a strategic guide for evaluating the impact and effectiveness of AI initiatives, developing policies and practices centered around AI, and training librarians for the inevitable integration of AI into their roles. By fostering collaboration between librarians, researchers, and AI experts, this book aims to empower professionals to navigate the transformative journey that AI is ushering in for libraries, fostering innovation, collaboration, and the creation of more effective and user-centric library services.
