Abstract：Smart librariesan emerging and innovative technological habitat of 21st century PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to discuss the emerging and innovative technologies which integrate together to form smart librariesSmart libraries are the new generation librarieswhich work with the amalgamation of smart technologiessmart users and smart servicesDesignmethodologyapproachAn extensive review of literature onsmart librarieswas carried to ascertain the emerging technologies in the smart library domainClarivate Analytics Web of Science and Sciverse Scopus were explored initially to ascertain the extent of literature published on Smart Libraries and their varied aspectsLiterature was searched against various keywords like smart librariessmart technologiesInternet of ThingsIoTElectronic resource managementERMData miningArtificial intelligenceAIAmbient intelligenceBlockchain Technology and Augmented RealityLater onthe works citing the literature on Smart Libraries were also explored to visualize a broad spectrum of emerging concepts about this growing trend in librariesFindingsThe study confirms that smart libraries are becoming smarter with the emerging smart technologieswhich enhances their working capabilities and satisfies the users associated with themImplementing the smart technologies in the libraries has bridged the gap between the services offered by the libraries and the rapidly changing and competing needs of the humansPractical implicationsThe paper highlights the emerging smart technologies in smart libraries and how they influence the efficiency of libraries in terms of usersservices and technological integrationOriginalityvalueThe paper tries to highlight the current technologies in the smart library set-ups for the efficient working of library set-ups Library AutomationFor exampleusing IoT technology to automate resource managementConsulting ServiceFor exampleusing AI to provide more intelligent inquiries and responsesRetrieval and IndexingFor exampleusing data exploration technology to more effectively retrieve and index dataThis study discusses emerging and innovative technologies that form a smart libraryWhen looking for related literaturea variety of keywords were studied
