Comparative Analysis of the Approaches to the Internet of Things Integration in Modern Library and Information Activity

The purpose of the article is to contribute to the development of optimized and balanced approaches to implementing the Internet of Things technologies in library and information production by analyzing and systematizing current approaches for the identification of their advantages and disadvantages as well as for the specification of potential directions for further scientific exploration. The methodology of the research includes the methods of generalization and sources analysis. The results. Both advantages and disadvantages of the systems under research were identified due to the performed analysis of general approaches to the implementation of specific technologies and means of the Internet of Things. Insufficient integration between the considered realizations and approaches to the Internet of Things technologies with the information system of libraries ranks among the main disadvantages. The conclusion concerning the absence of centralized management in each direction of the establishment activity demonstrated the necessity to discuss several key factors that require additional in-depth study, elaboration and implementation of the basic principles for creating IoT-enabled automation systems for libraries. The scientific novelty lies in the attempt to analyze common approaches to the application of the innovative Internet of Things technologies in the information environment of world-famous and national libraries. The practical significance. Studying both advantages and disadvantages of the existing principles in designing automation systems performance of the institution will promote independent and innovative development for the functionality and power of the IoT-enabled automated system in the library and information environment.
