Abstract
In libraries, the internet of things (IoT) has enormous promise. It is not the sensor on the object, but it does have the capacity for electronic tracking and data exchange. This has created a plethora of new opportunities to improve the efficiency of libraries and, as a result, the user experience of various services. IoT has played a critical role in transforming libraries into Smart places by improving services such as “collection management,” “instruction,” “data security,” and so on. It can also allow real-time global connection of a large library system. In this context, the chapter looks to explain IoT and its numerous technologies. The study additionally indicates possible library areas for implementation and how they affect library effectiveness in terms of patrons, operations, and technological innovation. This chapter will serve as a road map for scholars, practitioners, and readers interested in IoT, technosphere, and tech habitat.
