In an era marked by rapid technological progress, libraries find themselves at a crossroads grappling with the challenges posed by an information-rich yet digitally fragmented landscape. The conventional role of libraries, once the steadfast guardians of knowledge, faces disruption as we navigate through a sea of information abundance. This conundrum gives rise to a critical issue - how can libraries adapt and thrive in an environment dominated by the rapid evolution of artificial intelligence (AI)? AI-Assisted Library Reconstruction is a compelling solution that promises to breathe new life into these institutions, making them more dynamic, accessible, and efficient in the face of unprecedented challenges. This book addresses the pressing issues faced by libraries in the age of information technology. It doesn't merely scratch the surface; it delves deep into the heart of the matter, providing an exploration of the integration of artificial intelligence in the reconstruction and revitalization of libraries. Through an in-depth examination of technologies, methodologies, and applications, it offers a guide for libraries to not only survive but thrive in this technologically charged landscape.
