Semantic technologies: a transformative approach in public libraries - Asmaa Bouaamri

The contemporary technological advancements have changed how people access and use information. These changes were necessitated by the introduction of the internet and the World Wide Web. Currently, most library users are interested in instant access to information and not the procedure, interested in prompt feedback and not procrastination. Semantic technologies seem to be a solution to the prevailing problem, however, the uptake has not been impressive among libraries. Semantic technologies can assist library users in prompt searching and retrieval of information with minimum bureaucratic procedures. Semantic tools ensure that every library search query is meaning defined, unlike with the conventional library systems. This presentation discusses the importance of semantic technologies in public libraries and how these technologies can be implemented for easy-to-use tools and applications for public library users. The research paper explores the benefits of semantic technologies for searching and processing data in the everyday life of library users. In addition, the presentation sheds light on the challenges that public libraries may face when introducing semantic technologies to their users, as well as the social and cultural constraints that make their implementation elusive. Asmaa Bouaamri works at Institute of Library and Information Sciences, Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest, Hungary. This is a live recording of the presentation given at #ENDORSE2023 on 16 March, Day 3, Track 2 (Semantic technologies in our everyday lives - Tangible impacts).
