The purpose of this paper is to study the possible scope and usage forms of Internet of Things technology in library services. Based on the analysis of the subject literature, the main areas of IoT applications in commercial institutions were ascertained, and then an analysis of Library and Information Science English-language literature from 2010 to 2017 was made in order to draw an outline of modern library service. The scope of activities of commercial and non-commercial institutions was compared to determine whether areas in which commercial entities using or planning to use IoT could also bring inspiration to libraries. In this way, a theoretical model of IoT use in library activities was developed. The research indicates that IoT technology may have the possibility to be used in library services and other activities, similar to how it is implemented in the commercial sector. The use of IoT in libraries is a new issue that has not been studied much yet. In recent years, at the international conference, the possibility of using this technology to meet the needs of libraries has been raised and become a subject of interest to librarian associations. It proves that this topic is important to practitioners. However, it's difficult to find any scientific comprehensive research on this subject.
Abstract. Institutional repositories play an important role in protecting and disseminating scholarly contents of universities, and the librarians have been the actually leaders and managers of institutional repository. Through examining the research status of abroad institutional repository librarians, this paper analyses the roles, responsibilities, skills demand of institutional repository librarians.
