Abstract
E-reading has become more popular by making the number of book readers high in number. With online book reading websites, it is much simpler to read any book at any time by simply typing its name into a search engine. These websites offer free reading platform to users with unlimited number of choices without exceeding any rights. However, statistics reveal that reading is dwindling, particularly among young people. In this survey, we presented several existing approaches employed to design a book recommendation system from 2012 to 2023. Different types of datasets, used to extract information about books and users, in terms of features, source and usage were discussed. Six different categories for book recommendation techniques have been recognized and discussed which would build the groundwork for future study in this area. The issues related to book recommendation system was also briefly discussed. We have discussed on the performance analysis of various research works on book recommendation system. We have also highlighted the research concerns and future scope to improve the performance of book recommender system. We hope these findings will help researchers to explore more in book recommender systems particularly.

The International Journal on Digital Libraries (IJDL) examines the theory and practice of acquisition definition organization management preservation and dissemination of digital information via global networking. It covers all aspects of digital libraries (DLs) from large-scale heterogeneous data and information management & access to linking and connectivity to security privacy and policies to its application use and evaluation.The scope of IJDL includes but is not limited to: The FAIR principle and the digital libraries infrastructure Findable: Information access and retrieval; semantic search; data and information exploration; information navigation; smart indexing and searching; resource discovery Accessible: visualization and digital collections; user interfaces; interfaces for handicapped users; HCI and UX in DLs; Security and privacy in DLs; multimodal access Interoperable: metadata (definition management curation integration); syntactic and semantic interoperability; linked data Reusable: reproducibility; Open Science; sustainability profitability repeatability of research results; confidentiality and privacy issues in DLs Digital Library Architectures including heterogeneous and dynamic data management; data and repositories Acquisition of digital information: authoring environments for digital objects; digitization of traditional content Digital Archiving and Preservation Digital Preservation and curation Digital archiving Web Archiving Archiving and preservation Strategies AI for Digital Libraries Machine Learning for DLs Data Mining in DLs NLP for DLs Applications of Digital Libraries Digital Humanities Open Data and their reuse Scholarly DLs (incl. bibliometrics altmetrics) Epigraphy and Paleography Digital Museums Future trends in Digital Libraries Definition of DLs in a ubiquitous digital library world Datafication of digital collections Interaction and user experience (UX) in DLs Information visualization Collection understanding Privacy and security Multimodal user interfaces Accessibility (or "Access for users with disabilities") UX studies
