“…This supports research underscoring the significance of personal notes and study materials in students' learning processes (Friedman, 2014;Mayer et al, 2020;Scoulas & De Groote, 2022), suggesting that students consider their notes a crucial study and reference resource. The relatively high engagement with "Library textbooks" demonstrates students' frequent interaction with available textbooks in the library, underscoring libraries' traditional role in providing textbook access and supporting academic endeavors (Adetayo, 2022). This accessibility allows students to use necessary resources without individual purchases, marking the library as a valuable academic asset.…”

This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate university students' library engagement, emphasizing preferences, motivations, and reading habits, with an additional focus on gender dynamics. A total of 373 participants were involved in the research, and data were collected through a self-administered questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the participants' reading habits in different library sections, types of books read, and reasons for their preference for reading in the library. The Kruskal-Wallis test was employed to examine potential gender differences in these variables. The findings revealed variations in the frequency of students' reading activities across different library sections, with the main reading room being the most preferred section. The study also identified specific book types, such as personal notebooks and library textbooks, that were frequently read by students. Reasons for students' preference for reading in the library included the motivating environment, availability of book options, assistance from librarians, and fewer distractions compared to other places. The results of the Kruskal-Wallis test indicated significant gender differences in the ranks for certain library sections, book types, and reasons for reading in the library. These findings provide valuable insights into students' reading habits and preferences, highlighting the importance of creating diverse reading spaces, expanding book collections, promoting a supportive library environment, and enhancing librarian support. The implications of the study underscore the need for gender-inclusive services, thoughtful space design, and comprehensive collection development to meet the evolving needs of students and foster a reading culture in libraries.

“…Despite proving its utility as a reference tool in medical libraries (Adetayo, 2023a; Adetayo, 2023b; Chen, 2023), ChatGPT has limitations, facing challenges in accurately responding to intricate questions. Risks include providing incorrect or outdated information, and it lacks the ability to comprehend emotions (Adetayo, 2023b). Positioned as a complementary tool, ChatGPT excels in delivering customised information support to medical library users, distinct from traditional library systems.…”

BackgroundThe emergence of the artificial intelligence chatbot ChatGPT in November 2022 has garnered substantial attention across diverse disciplines. Despite widespread adoption in various sectors, the exploration of its application in libraries, especially within the medical domain, remains limited.Aims/ObjectivesMany areas of interest remain unexplored like ChatGPT in medical libraries and this review aims to synthesise what is currently known about it to identify gaps and stimulate further research.MethodsEmploying Cooper's integrative review method, this study involves a comprehensive analysis of existing literature on ChatGPT and its potential implementations within library contexts.ResultsA systematic literature search across various databases yielded 166 papers, with 30 excluded for irrelevance. After abstract reviews and methodological assessments, 136 articles were selected. Critical Appraisal Skills Programme qualitative checklist further narrowed down to 29 papers, forming the basis for the present study. The literature analysis reveals diverse applications of ChatGPT in medical libraries, including aiding users in finding relevant medical information, answering queries, providing recommendations and facilitating access to resources. Potential challenges and ethical considerations associated with ChatGPT in this context are also highlighted.ConclusionPositioned as a review, our study elucidates the applications of ChatGPT in medical libraries and discusses relevant considerations.
