Abstract

Modern libraries are undergoing a remarkable transformation into AI-powered hubs of innovation, effectively linking advanced technologies with community education and learning. By employing intelligent tools such as machine learning and automated analytical technologies, these libraries are transforming traditional services into dynamic, personalized experiences. Advanced libraries offer curated digital content tailored to individual learning styles, provide real-time access to informaStion, and utilize modernized analytics to inform collection development and enhance user engagement. The study examines the transformative role of academic libraries in Jorhat District, Assam, as emerging centers of innovation and learning driven by AI. It investigates how artificial intelligence and technologies are being integrated into library services to enhance access, engagement, and learning outcomes. Using a survey-based methodology, data were collected from librarians, faculty, and student users across multiple academic institutions to assess current AI adoption, user awareness, and perceived benefits. Findings reveal that while AI integration is still in its early stages, there is a growing interest in leveraging these tools to support the learning pathways of diverse individuals and foster collaborative research environments. The study highlights key challenges, including infrastructure gaps and concerns about digital literacy, while also underscoring the potential of libraries to serve as inclusive, tech-empowered hubs for lifelong learning.
