Abstract

Purpose This study aims to explore the potential use of drones in special library services, aiming to enhance accessibility, services and reliability. It examines how drones can provide library materials to individuals unable to access traditional services and addresses challenges associated with drone implementation. Design/methodology/approach This study involves a literature review and case studies to analyze the feasibility and benefits of incorporating drones into special libraries. This study also discusses the synergy between drone technology and artificial intelligence (AI) in enhancing library operations. Findings Drones have the potential to transform special libraries by automating tasks, improving efficiency and expanding outreach. Their application ranges from inventory management and book retrieval to security, surveillance and outreach initiatives. AI-powered drones can provide real-time data on library usage and enhance cost-effectiveness. However, challenges including costs, privacy concerns and regulatory frameworks need to be addressed. Originality/value The integration of drones and AI in special library services presents a novel approach to revolutionizing library operations. This study uniquely combines these technologies, emphasizing the importance of proactive consideration of challenges and prospects for successful implementation.

第五次工业革命中的无人机和特殊图书馆

本研究旨在探讨无人机在图书馆特殊服务中的潜在应用，以提高可达性、服务和可靠性。它研究了无人机如何为无法访问传统服务的个人提供图书馆资料，并解决了与无人机实施相关的挑战。本研究包括文献综述和案例研究，以分析将无人机纳入特殊图书馆的可行性和效益。本研究亦探讨无人机技术与人工智能(AI)在提升图书馆运作上的协同作用。无人机有可能通过自动化任务、提高效率和扩大服务范围来改变特殊图书馆。它们的应用范围从库存管理和图书检索到安全、监视和外展活动。人工智能无人机可以提供图书馆使用情况的实时数据，提高成本效益。然而，包括成本、隐私问题和监管框架在内的挑战需要解决。无人机和人工智能在图书馆特殊服务中的集成为图书馆运营带来了革命性的新方法。这项研究独特地结合了这些技术，强调了积极考虑挑战和成功实施前景的重要性。

期刊介绍： Library Hi Tech News (LHTN) helps busy professionals stay abreast of current events and developments in the library and information industry. LHTN publishes articles of varying lengths, reports from relevant conferences, and case studies of how technology is used in the library. The Editors work closely with authors who are new to publishing, and those who are seeking outlets for reporting on practical uses of IT in libraries. Publishing your article in LHTN can be "a place to start," analogous to a "poster session in print", and does not preclude publishing a more fulsome piece in a peer-reviewed journal at a later date. Readers consider LHTN as the source from which to hear what’s coming next in terms of technology development for academic and public libraries.
