Abstract

It is not an argument that the libraries in developing countries are yet to digitize most of their materials, but rather an argument that raises the capitalistic aims of the information industry. Librarianship is quick to defend against this argument, but where the profession struggles is in admitting its faults in regards to digital progression. Historically, the library has been reluctant to change, often waiting for a particular technology to reach market saturation before reacting to a new trend. Once a patron has been readily-exposed to a technology across multiple venues, then the library should adopt its use. Due to the ever-increasing presence of artificial intelligence (AI), a literature scan on libraries engagement with AI was conducted with effect on library and information services.
