The Algorithmic Librarian: Enhancing Collection Development Using Artificial Intelligence

Author(s): Urvashi Tyagi and Dr. Sanjay Kumar Sharma

Abstract:

In this work, we introduce the idea of the "algorithmic librarian"-a hybrid paradigm that combines conventional librarianship with AI technologies-to examine how AI is changing the way libraries build their collections. Library collections are made more relevant, diverse, and responsive with the use of artificial intelligence systems that provide predictive insights, personalised suggestions, and operational efficiency via data analytics and also machine learning. Artificial intelligence (AI) facilitates preventative measures and user-centered acquisition techniques by evaluating massive amounts of data, including circulation patterns, user behavior, and academic standards. There is a once-in-a-generation chance to update library services via the incorporation of AI, but there are also ethical concerns about bias, transparency, and human supervision. The research comes to the conclusion that algorithmic librarians usher in a new era of collaborative knowledge management, where computers augment human expertise in creating library collections that are smarter, more inclusive, and adaptable.
