Transforming Libraries With Meta-Librarianship: A Futuristic Approach

Abstract

As libraries evolve in response to rapid technological advancements and changing user needs, the concept of meta-librarianship emerges as a transformative approach. This paper explores the potential of meta-librarianship in revolutionizing traditional library services and resources, focusing on a futuristic perspective. Meta-librarianship encompasses the integration of advanced technologies, data analytics, artificial intelligence, and user-centered design principles to enhance information access, retrieval, and management. Through a comprehensive review of literature and case studies, this paper delves into the roles, responsibilities, and skills required for meta-librarians to navigate the digital landscape effectively. It also discusses the challenges and opportunities associated with adopting a meta-librarianship approach and provides recommendations for libraries to embrace this futuristic paradigm shift successfully.
