The rapid advances taking place in information and communication technologies are enabling transformation in libraries irrespective of their types. What used to be an isolated and sedate environment has become more of a community hub where users interact, learn, and communicate. Technology has helped libraries connect to a worldwide network where information is exchanged globally and consumed locally. The Handbook of Research on Digital Devices for Inclusivity and Engagement in Libraries is a critical scholarly publication that explores interactive technologies and their applications and implementations in library settings as well as their role in transforming libraries. Featuring a range of topics such as artificial intelligence, library technologies, and social media, this book is ideal for librarians, IT technicians, academicians, researchers, and students.
