“…Fang (2014) proposes a dual recognition algorithm for library management system to improve the recognition efficiency and to ensure the accuracy of the recognition performance. Fortino et al (2014) propose a method to enable effective discovery, management and querying of smart objects for digital libraries. McHugh and Yarmey (2014) explore applications of NFC in libraries, including linking books or other physical objects with digital information about library resources, collection management and self-checkout.…”

“…Currently, libraries are facing huge challenges in managing large number of book records, searching a book quickly, issuing books and managing late arrivals (Tarique and Priya Rani, 2017). In addition, the reading materials, including text document, image, audio, video and software, are getting more fragmented (Fortino et al, 2014). For libraries, the integration of the internet has led to the utilization of new tools and methods for providing users information (Abdoulaye and Majid, 2000), such as digital resources, mobile service, notification service and ubiquitous service on the basis of traditional service (Fortino et al, 2014).…”

Purpose Internet of Things (IoT) has been widely adopted in the commercial sector. Although IoT enables traditional libraries to convert into digital ones, the implementation of the IoT in libraries is slow. The purpose of this paper is to report on the current state of research on applications of IoT in libraries, describe challenges that IoT applications face in libraries and discus directions of adopting IoT in libraries in the future. Design/methodology/approach To conduct this research, the literature of IoT and its application in libraries were reviewed by examining existing literature in Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Xplore. Findings The literature review finds that radio-frequency identification has been adopted by digital libraries. The slow implementation of IoT is caused by security and privacy issues, lack of standards and the lack of financial, technological and organizational resources. This study provides a prospective for the application of IoT in libraries; the technologies of IoT have the potential in betterment of library services. Research limitations/implications The limitation of this study is that only IEEE Xplore is included. Other database should be explored in future research. Originality/value The application of IoT in libraries is an emerging issue; a systematic and extensive review of recent research on applications of IoT in libraries is unavailable. This paper presents an overview of IoT in libraries, findings and potential research opportunities.

“…Physical library collections are valuable resources for knowledge and learning (Yang et al , 2016). At present, reading materials, including text document, image, audio, video and software, are getting more fragmented (Fortino et al , 2014). Managing the inventories of these materials and the space for storing these materials efficiently is a challenge for libraries (Tarique and Priya Rani, 2017; Yang et al , 2016).…”

“…The Internet is changing the way people obtain information (Thanuskodi, 2012). The integration of the Internet allows libraries to utilize new tools and methods for providing information to users (Abdoulaye and Majid, 2000), such as digital resources, mobile service, notification service and ubiquitous service on the basis of traditional service (Fortino et al , 2014). Information integration can help libraries eliminate heterogeneity among different documents, achieve sequential and systematic information resources according to users' need, shorten the search time to quickly acquire new knowledge and meet readers' diverse and individual needs (Xue, 2014).…”

PurposeThis paper investigates the latest achievements of studies on industrial information integration engineering (IIIE).Design/methodology/approachThis paper extends the research by Chen (2016) by reviewing studies from 2016 to 2019 in IEEE Xplore and Web of Science. Altogether, 970 papers related to IIIE are grouped into 27 research categories and reviewed.FindingsThe results obtained in this study indicate that the number of research studies on IIIE rose drastically in the past three years compared with the findings in Chen (2016). Particularly, energy, engineering, industrial control, information and communications technologies, instrumentation, manufacturing and transportation are the hot topics. This change proves that the Internet of things (IoT) and IIIE have integrated closely by providing more applications, such as industrial Internet of things (IIoT), cyber-physical system (CPS), smart grids and smart manufacturing. This change also proves the research direction of IIIE identified by Chen (2016).Originality/valueThe results present up-to-date development of IIIE and provide directions for future research on IIIE. The review identifies that energy, engineering, industrial control, information and communications technologies, instrumentation, manufacturing and transportation are the main fields that most of the reviewed papers focus on. Applications that integrate IoT and IIIE, including IIoT, CPS, smart grids and smart manufacturing, are attracting scholars' and practitioners' attention. Some new technologies, such as 5G and blockchain, have the potential to be integrated with IoT and IIIE.
