Preface

The 21st century has ushered in an era of immense digital transformation, reshaping how knowledge is created, accessed, and disseminated. Educational libraries—integral to academic development—are at the forefront of this shift. Recognizing this evolving landscape, Changing Dimensions of Educational Libraries in the Digital Era was conceptualized as a platform to document, analyze, and reflect upon these changes.

This volume brings together the contributions of experienced scholars and young researchers who delve into key themes like artificial intelligence, digital transformation, user experience, bibliometrics, and the far-reaching impact of India's National Education Policy 2020. The intent behind this book is not only to capture current trends but also to spark further dialogue, innovation, and strategic evolution in library science.

We hope that this work serves as both a reference and inspiration for academics, researchers, librarians, and students striving to enhance the future of knowledge services in a digital world.
