Abstract:Artificial IntelligenceAIin Pakistani university library services In early stages of librarianship professiontelephone and fax machines are used in the librariestechnical operations for the placement of book orders and queries of acquisition of library books and other materialsLibrary users contexttelephone and fax are used for the reminder to the library books and reference services use as remote communication tools between the library users and librarianlibrary staffComputers also play a vital role in the library services and become a helping hand of the libraries and librarianLibrary automation and digitalization concept were adopted from computer technologiesand relevant Internet TechnologyBibliographic recordstorage and maintain of library records and document become more convenient to search and retrievalThe invention of Internet library content has global access from anywhere and anytime library beyond the library wall concept is promoted with 247 accessWeb 20 term introduce by OReilly Media and Web 20 change the nature of websitesIt become interactive with user interface with its different toolsDelgado Rodrguez2019The idea AI has first time presented in 1955 by John McCarthyhe is also considered the founder of the AIAndresen2002There are so many ups and down in the development of AIAI technology got fastest development after the 2010 in all the walk of life Medicineengineeringcomputer programmingresearchhigher education and librariesAI also hits in the library servicesSuitable definition presented Tredinnick2017p37defines AI asa cluster of technologies and approaches to computing focused on the ability of computers to make flexible rational decisions in response to unpredictable environmental conditionsIn library and information science contextHare and Andrews2017define it assystems that change behaviors without being explicitly programmed based on data collectedusage analysis and other observationsAI requires highly complex programming logic and understanding of statistical and computing principleshoweveron the sensible side in libraries and online collections there large number of records to search and retrieved and as well as finding accurate piece of information in quick sessionsIn the context of library and information scienceAI is considered the sets of information handling tools ieExperts

cataloguinglibrary automation systems are considered the core library servicesParallel circulationreference and research support services are considered key library serviceMachine-based technologies are used in library operation for either its technical services or user servicesKnowledge management and organization of information to support the different levels of information users and knowledge practitioners are the main tasks of the libraries thats make this profession very unique and challengingLibrarian and library staff are doing parallel multitasking assignmentsLibrary technical jobs are very intensive and hard workSupervised machine-based automated classification scheme related to DDC StudiedWang2009Library of congress 10 years science and Technology bibliographical record tested
