| dc.description.abstract | Due to digital transformation, libraries are evolving into dynamic knowledge hubs. Emerging technologies such as cloud computing, blockchain, and artificial intelligence (AI) significantly influence the way libraries function and deliver services. At present, there is an opportunity to explore these developments in greater depth. However, no comprehensive review of the application of these technologies in libraries has been conducted. Therefore, this study aims to carry out a systematic literature review of academic articles on cloud computing, blockchain, and artificial intelligence (AI) in the library context using the PRISMA method. The review synthesizes peer-reviewed works published between 2020 and 2024 retrieved from Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. The study's results indicate that there is still minimal academic research on these topics. The reviewed studies primarily focused on three key areas: the applications and adoption trends of these technologies, their advantages and challenges, and their comparative as well as complementary roles. Findings show that cloud computing is the most advanced and widely applied technology in library systems, repositories, and consortia. Artificial intelligence is expanding through chatbots, recommender systems, and predictive analytics, while blockchain remains experimental, mainly in rights management and authentication. Together, these technologies form the foundation of smart libraries, though ethical, technical, and regional challenges persist. Overcoming these challenges requires technological integration, strong governance, and continuous capacity building. These measures are crucial to ensure libraries evolve into future-ready, user-centered ecosystems | |
