Abstract

The landscape of libraries is rapidly changing with technological advancement, and the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the National Education Policy 2020 (NEP 2020) have created an unprecedented opportunity for libraries to revolutionize their services. This paper explores the role of AI and NEP 2020 in transforming libraries and how they can improve library services in terms of personalized learning, content curation, digital preservation, resource optimization, and learning analytics.

The paper provides an overview of AI and NEP 2020 and its importance for libraries. AI technologies are existing in libraries to automate tasks, provide personalized learning experiences, and optimize resource management. Furthermore, NEP 2020 provides a framework for the integration of technology in education, and libraries can play a key role in achieving the policy's goals through the implementation of AI technologies.

The paper also examines case studies of libraries that have implemented AI technologies to enhance their services, such as the British Library, which has used AI to curate their digital collections and the University of Liverpool Library, which has used AI to optimize the discovery of resources. These examples demonstrate the potential for AI to revolutionize library services and improve user experiences.

The paper also highlights how AI can support NEP 2020 goals, such as personalized learning, digital preservation, and learning analytics, and provides examples of libraries that have used AI to implement these recommendations, such as the Indian Institute of Technology Ropar Library, which has used AI to provide personalized reading recommendations to users.

In conclusion, this paper emphasizes the need for libraries to embrace AI and NEP 2020 initiatives to remain relevant in the rapidly evolving digital age. The integration of AI technologies can enhance library services, improve user experiences, and support the goals of NEP 2020. Libraries that adopt AI technologies can position themselves as leaders in the information field and provide valuable services to their users.
