Abstract

A total of 115 selected articles indexed in the Web of Science core collection between 2015 to 2024 are analyzed quantitative and qualitatively to identify the key research theme in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its application in libraries and librarianship. The study also tries to find out the key journals and countries publishing on the topic. The study shows that the research on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its applicationin libraries are divided into three key areas: Ethics, Library Services and Operations and Profession. The highest research is on Library Services and Operations, which constitute 69.56% of articles published in the area; the second was Profession, which has nearly 21% of articles, followed by Ethics, which consists of 9.56% of research articles. The keyword co-occurrence analysis shows AI research concentrates on three major keyword clusters: the artificial intelligence cluster, the ChatGPT/chatbot cluster, and the academic library cluster. The study shows that the impacts of AI on library services and operations continue to be one of the areas of LIS research. There is also concern about the library skill set and cost associated with implementing AI apart from the AI Policy in libraries.
